When we first met this young lady, we would have never pegged her as one to end up with this much ink on her. Since then she’s toured the world with two urban pop-ish groups masterminded by the same man. Can you guess who this is?
That is Dawn Richard in the pages of Edge Magazine, getting her flex on now that she’s broken free of Diddy’s chains her first solo album, Golden Hear, is in the works. Of course she geared up for it with the release of her Tell Tale Hear mixtape last year. And she talked to Edge about what that project meant.
“I wanted people to literally fall into my heart. And if they could hear each beat of my heart those songs would be the sound. If you took a walk in my heart those songs would be the soundtrack”. That’s the mind of Dawn Richard. She’s discussing her mixtape, A Tell Tale Heart, which went viral earlier this year and proved that she was more than just “that girl from Making the Band”.
Y’all might still be calling her that. Or “Dawn from Dirty Money,” which she isn’t anymore (no one will explain exactly what happened), but that’s not stopping Dawn’s hustle.
In fact, she just dropped a new Christmas song called “December Sky” for the people… and so that you won’t forget that she can saaaaang, dammit!
“A lot of people won’t be able to see their loved ones this Christmas,” says Dawn. “Whether they are serving in Iraq/Iran, in the industry or working a 9 to 5, the truth is a lot of us aren’t able to make it home for the holidays. So this record is for them and anyone else missing their love – the sky and stars are a gift for us both because no matter how far apart we are, we are under the same sky.”
