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:

I was going to be a smart-ass about the animated clip in that tweet but damn "Bussifame" bangs

the version on Spotify appears to have (a section of) “Pressure”, the next track on the album, as well.

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.

oh wow "streetlights"!
this album is shaping up to be my favourite of hers in a long time
― ufo, Wednesday, 14 April 2021 18:10 (three years ago) link
there’s also a new EP by Intyce (see one year upthread), with Invadea. this time it’s 4 tracks, 5’30 mins, with features by Dawn and Samantha Mumba (!). mentioning it because some people liked last year’s EP a lot. for me personally the tracks are so short as to be inconsequential.

For “Second Line,” she wanted to shift the focus to her mother, who underwent a knee surgery at the start of 2020. After Richard moved back home to help take care of her, the pandemic struck, and Richard suddenly found herself occupying a guest room in her parents’ home with an album that still needed to be finished.
But she adjusted, as she tends to do, linking up with local engineer Eric Heigle to complete the record while accepting the responsibilities that come with living with your parents. (Folding clothes and towels, which she recounted with relatable exasperation.) And her extended proximity to her family flowed back into the album: Her mother appears throughout as a kind of narrator, and Richard said their relationship reached a new, adult level through their many conversations for those recordings

NY Times article also mentions Dawn taking an online finance class and this:
“I was kind of like, ‘I don’t see a lot of Black on the roster,’” she said.
But she was convinced after meeting with the label at her manager’s suggestion, and realizing how many of its artists (Caribou, Destroyer) she loved.

Nice live-streamed interview with Dawn and her mum just now on the npr YouTube channel following a listening party for the album.
Had to interrupt my spin of the LP (looks gorgeous btw) half way through because of that event, so am now returning to the vinyl. This edition ends after “Perfect Storm”, which works in context but ‘SELFish’ is such an epic -,no mere outro - that knowing now that it exists is probably going to skew my feelings about the record.

the..... production........
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 30 April 2021 20:19 (two years ago) link
this starts as a dance album even more bangin than reputation and then mutates into a sequence of increasingly proggier slow jams, exactly on my wavelength, and then dawn sings over the moonlight sonata, which, lol. pretty cool with living in a world where this album exists
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 30 April 2021 20:34 (two years ago) link
even more banging than redemption*
lol ugh
“perfect storm” ;_;

obsessed with “Nostalgia” and to a lesser extent, “Boomerang”. a whole album with this vibe would (have) be(en) awesome, but it does indeed go in a very different direction after “Bussiframe”. need to delve into it further, but “SELFish” at least is def very good

would have been even more fitting if Second Line had indeed been Dawn's Off The Wall

As far as this still implying the possibility that her next album is her deserved mega-platinum (or whatever said equivalent is in streaming terms these days) smash record, maybe it is!

one can dream (OTW was 9x platinum in the US itself btw, but I wasn’t talking about commercial performance anyway)
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 21:15 (two years ago) link
I knew you weren't, obviously, just expressing a desire to see her get massive.

oh yes this album is fantastic once I fell through the “Pressure” rabbit hole that was it. when that dub bass comes in under the chorus...
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Thursday, 6 May 2021 20:17 (two years ago) link
first proper listen to most of this today, obv the brilliance was never in doubt but
i love how so many of her sonic motifs are present and correct, but it still moves on into its own new space
also she's really into panning vocals more than ever
there's a ton of thoughts i shd thunk later but anyway tracectory maintained and accelerated
― Chickpeas, Scamps and Beeves (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 6 May 2021 20:54 (two years ago) link
oh it's deeper and dubbier than ever before and that's fun too
i don't think it's my favourite yet but bollocks to keeping a score
― Chickpeas, Scamps and Beeves (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 6 May 2021 20:56 (two years ago) link
Took two listens but this is another triumph
― rob, Thursday, 6 May 2021 22:49 (two years ago) link
there's some really good stuff on here but i don't know if it really works for me as a whole yet, it's really fragmented?
― ufo, Friday, 7 May 2021 02:01 (two years ago) link
Thats my take too
― Draymond is "Mr Dumpy" (forksclovetofu), Friday, 7 May 2021 04:55 (two years ago) link
I don't think anybody's album work is less fragmented than Dawn's, she seems to constantly want her albums to flow musically and thematically and this feels the same to me. Maybe some of the individual pieces/ideas are shorter than before, maybe, a little bit?
