After two bands and six years with Diddy at Bad Boy Records, Dawn Richard (now simply D∆WN) decided to go solo and release her projects independently.
In early 2013, with full control over her music, image, and career, D∆WN released Goldenheart, the first installment of her "heart" themed trilogy. D∆WN has since become a critical darling and is often celebrated as one of the most innovative artists in the music industry because of her thought-provoking visuals and willingness to tinker with traditional genre lines.
Blackheart, the electronic dance-pop follow-up to Goldenheart and the second installment in her trilogy peaked at Number 2 on the Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and became one of Pitchfork's Top 50 Albums of Year and one of Rolling Stone's 20 Best R&B Albums of 2015.
Last week, after three years of bearing her "heart" to the fans, D∆WN unveiled "Not Above That" the lead single from Redemptionheart, the last installment in the trilogy. With some assistance from L.A.-based producer Machinedrum, D∆WN proves that she is down for anything, both in the bedroom and in the booth.
Even though experimental electro-pop dance is nothing new to D∆WN, "Not Above That" is fresh, exciting, and perfect for head-bopping in the shower or going crazy on the dance floor at the club. Either way, the song will be stuck in your head and you'll have absolutely no problem with that.
Happy Listening,
Robert
