Yeah, I thought the same thing. Her skin looks bleached. Or it could just be a really bad makeup job... I hope. I loved her honesty about DK and how she admitted they all f**ked it up and took responsibility. I'm not here for her solo music though, it's just no good. All the lies you tell! Anyway, this new record is excellent. It feels like a natural progression from Goldenheart: it's fresh and cohesive, hard hitting and mystical. It took a minute to digest, but it's so dope and progressive.

Yeah, I like a good chunk of the album. Some of it is a little overly ambitious, and they didn't quite hit the mark, but at least they tried. Sonically, there's a lot more variation on here than on "Goldenheart," but I don't think I'll be listening to this album as often as that one. One thing I find impressive is how expensive her music sounds, overall. You would think she had been given a recording budget worth millions from a major record company. I like her work ethic.

Not too surprised. P4K has always been a huge supporter of Dawn. That review makes it sound like my kind of album so I will check for it when I get home.

It takes 500 dollars to get a good review on Pitchfork.

She released a video for a song that doesn't appear on "Blackheart," called "Tide: The Paradox Effect."
I'm very curious to know how she gets the money to do all of these things because the quality of her songs and even a lot of her videos are better than artists on major labels that have millions of dollars.

I liked the interview. Dying @ Char repeatedly bringing up the fight.

She told Billboard's Pop Shop that she's almost done with last installment of the trilogy, called "RedHeart," and that she's experimenting with folk music and hard trap beats.

I respect that she does what she wants. She is definitely not chasing for mainstream success and I can kind of see why due to Danity Kane being so mainstream.
I need to check out her latest though.

No matter how her career turns out, she is a star. Talent like that should be seen everywhere.

Nu Kelis!
But really, she should be just as big in the blogosphere as GTA Twix.

Billie Jean is one of my favorite songs of the year. That chorus is pure heaven + the American Beauty reference in the video is genius.

I feel like she always tries her hardest to be ~artistic~ but always comes up short.

I've never been big on her vocals, however the productions are top notch. I'm loving her 'Dance' track.

New track 'not above it' is my favorite.
She's so underrated!
It's the perfect mix or Rnb and electronic
