    New Song: Dawn Richard – ”86′

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Dawn Richard

    Dawn Richard’s ”86′ single cover

    Dawn Richard has released the her new song, ”86′, just a day ahead of schedule, much to the delight of her eager fans. Produced by the ever so talented Druski, the track serves as the official lead single from her ‘GoldenHeart’ album, which will be released on October 16th.

    ”86′ was inspired by the sounds of Prince, Genesis, Cyndi Lauper, Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins but the final product is certainly 100% Dawn. If you haven’t seen the ‘GoldenHeart’ track list then click here and then listen to ”86′ below:

    ”86′ is a beautiful song but whether it is a strong choice for a lead single is debatable. ‘Bombs’ from Dawn’s ‘Armor On’ EP would have actually been a better selection to launch the ‘GoldenHeart’ project with ”86 serving as the second of a dual release. Regardless, Dawn has yet to drop the ball musically and I am eager to see the videos that she puts forward during this new era of her career!

    Thanks Rap-Up!

      Why would she release ‘Bombs’ as the lead single, if ‘Bombs’ isn’t even on GoldenHeart? That makes no sense.
      The other thing I don’t understand is that ‘Pretty Wicked Things’ was released in like, July, and it’ll be on GoldenHeart, but ’86′ is the lead single?
      Regardless, I love this track. I see what she did. Sonically, it’s different than her other works, but it may be the most commercial-sounding too. So that’s how she’ll hook people in.

      I really hope she breaks through. She consistently delivers. There’s less than a handful of “R&B” artists right now actually worth paying attention to and she’s definitely right there.

      *”R&B” b/c they don’t limit themselves to run of the mill R&B.

      Can’t you read? Did you not READ what was written?

      Matt Basically this sentence in the post will clear up your first misunderstanding….

      “‘Bombs’ from Dawn’s ‘Armor On’ EP would have actually been a better selection to launch the ‘GoldenHeart’ project with ”86 serving as the second of a dual release.”

      So in other words, BOMBS was on the EP (extended play)…

      I really love this it gives me prince!

      So y’all are saying that what he said is that she should have held “Bombs” back and put it on “GoldenHeart” and not “Armor on”. I see. it just reads funny.
      I mean, I disagree. We don’t even know what “GoldenHeart” will sound like, besides “Pretty Wicked Things”. So we can’t go saying “She should do this and that”. Cause then you’re just limiting the artist.

      I mean, this isn’t the strongest lead single, but I feel like its sound is commercial (familiar?) enough to get people hooked who would have dismissed her otherwise.

      I’m in love worth this. Dawn delivers every time. Did they sample Prince “i will die for you” the beat is stunningly similar. I just know I won’t be let down. Now let’s wait in the cut and see what brandy pulls out her sleeve***
