cool picture. disappointing that she isn't more popular (just what does 2000 ILX posts get you these days???) but those small gigs are usually awesome.

new breed is such a good album. I haven’t been rinsing it like I did her previous albums, I just play it on the regular and it’s always an intensely satisfying listen.

otm. It’s casually brilliant in a way that makes it harder to rave about than say Blackheart

Like her best in this mode tbh but this seems a bit autopilot? Not bad.

jaaayyyzus how did I miss this album until last Sunday?! She's even weirder recording song with trad R&B underpinings.

both great. guitar in "Die Without You" has a "Street Spirit" vibe imo

Just caught up with her collaborative EP (?) (9 tracks, 15 mins long) with Intyce, titled ‘Psyflo : Risqué’ . It dropped about a month ago to little fanfare and I can’t find very much about it online. It’s good, the beats work really well with Dawn’s signature style. Possibly my favourite thing she’s done in a couple of years at least.
― Jeff W, Sunday, 24 May 2020 12:43 (three years ago) link
Thanks for the heads-up, had missed this. Don’t know who Intyce is, but I’m very eager to check this out.

same, i had no idea it existed!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 24 May 2020 23:28 (three years ago) link
this is outstanding; i suppose the lack of some cleared samples (the super mario ones at least) and the somewhat undeveloped nature of the tracks (most of the songs are under two minutes) suggest this is more of a rough draft than a finished project, which explains why she's been quiet about this.this may be obvious but the overall vibe is very Darkchild and yes that's very fine by me.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 26 May 2020 16:25 (three years ago) link
forks, not sure I get your reference. Darkchild as in producer Rodney Jerkins, or are you talking about a certain dark child with a Blackheart by any chance?Either way, it’s good stuff, but ‘undeveloped’ is right - I need more than 1’45 for those tracks.
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 26 May 2020 18:53 (three years ago) link
was referencing Jerkins; this makes me think of his work with Brandy

I like Dawn Richards and I love her for putting in that second line footage, but it's hard to follow by comparison.
If anyone cares, this is the song that the band is playing in that opening clip:

The whole album is fantastic. At first it seems like it's going to be Dawn's most heads-down party album, but then it gets more emotional and weird as it goes along, without losing the devotion to rhythm throughout, so that by the end it feels more like a sequel to Redemption (and, more distantly, Blackheart) than I was expecting.
