Here are some links if you want to know more about Dawn Richard:

Dawn Richard Friday


Dawn Richard


Dawn Richard first came into the spotlight on MTV's reality show Making The Band, where she was chosen to be one-fifth of the girl group Danity Kane.  After 2 platinum albums, Diddy disbanded the group, and Dawn was gone for a little while but formed a new group with Diddy and a second vocalist.  They released a critically acclaimed album, Last Train to Paris.  Sales weren't terrible, but still they weren't what Diddy expected, and the group disbanded.  Dawn was shelved and would have more than likely had to wait years before releasing a solo project.  Instead of waiting, Richard decided to split from Bad Boy and Diddy, to embark on a solo career independently.  She released her 1st mixtape, The Prelude to A Tell Tale Heart, and then the EP, Armor On in 2012.  It managed to chart on the Billboard 200 albums chart.  At the top of the year she released her full-length album, Goldenheart, which also debuted on the Billboard 200, charting higher than Armor On.  Richard says that Goldenheart is set to be the 1st album in a trilogy.  The others will be titled Blackheart followed by RedemptionHeart.  Dawn Richard's music videos are very theatric and creative, her music is nice and mellow and her vocals are always on point.

Just Vids: Avant and Keke Wyatt- You and I

While I am talking about R&B Divas, I of course have to post their music.  These ladies are in the fight to bring back good old R&B.  You know you need some r&b in your life. If it goes away, what are you going to get married to? Bandz a Make Her Dance???  No, its going to be something like this...You and I.  Avant and Keke Wyatt make beautiful music together.  This is their third duet.  I can't even explain the runs Keke does in this song!  I really just want to throw something everytime I hear them, but I contain myself.


Just Vids: Faith Evans- Tears of Joy

While I am talking about R&B Divas, I of course have to post their music.  These ladies are in the fight to bring back good old R&B.  You know you need some r&b in your life. If it goes away, what are you going to get married to? Bandz a Make Her Dance???  No, its going to be something like this...Tears of Joy.  Which is what I want to cry when I hear that part when she goes,"Ooooh-Hoooo, Oooooh-Hoooooo,OoooHoooOooohHoooAoooohooo! I just wanna sing for ya bay!"  (Church!)
