Dawn Richard is no stranger to controversy.

After all, it’s the very word that has defined 2014 for her following the messiest of break-ups from Danity Kanedawn-richard-111

In hoping to put the muddiness of that drama behind her, Richard is gearing up to release her latest solo album, ‘Blackheart’ on January 15th.

And while buzz has been growing for the independent set, the spotlight was intensified all the more this week when the singer unveiled the newest promo shot for the project.

Viewable above, the snap features the performer posing it up looking much different to the “her” fans have come to know and love over the years (pictured left).

We’re all for evolution, but surely folk should be able to recognise who they’re actually supporting?

It’s a question some took to Instagram to voice. See their words below…

It wasn’t all negative, though. For, a number of fans showcased support for the singer’s interesting new look:

So, with that, we throw over to you…what do you think?

  3. You tried December 21, 2014

    Most of the difference in her face in this DRAMATIC AND SLAYING PHOTO is MAKE UP!!! Her make up is BEAT!! Make up can make a person look different but she doesn’t narurally look that different! People chill! This CHICK HAS MONEY$$$$$$ let her spend it how she wants

  4. TEAM December 21, 2014

    Since those two back biting Trollops broke up danity Kane to form a flop duo (yes thats the real reason)I have been Team Dawn. The pic is photoshopped to the gawds she does not look like that. I am more interested in what she is going to give us on 1.15.15.

    Dawn, keep following the Kelly Rowland Underdog Hustle 101 and hopefully, we will see you at the Grammys very soon.

    You’re on the right track, baby, keep going.

    • Mhud December 21, 2014

      What does this has to do with queen Kelly Rowland??? Stay reaching for queen.

  6. SMH December 21, 2014

    I think this pic is more photoshop, makeup & airbrushing than anything,not surgery. People forget that makeup and lighting can give you that ‘look’. In any case, I’ll be there to support on the 15th.

    • Credits December 22, 2014

      But why go that hard with Photoshop, if you won’t look the same when you’re on tv? There is photoshopping the fat away and airbrushing the skin to make it look perfect, but photoshop for a new nose makes no sense. I’ve seen her Instagram pics and she is looking different. She got a good plastic surgeon, I will say that.

    • WorldSTOP… CarryON December 22, 2014

      definitely photoshop. dunno whats wrong with people, theres older pictures from this same photoshoot from months ago, they have just altered this particular pic for whatever reason. She has not had any work done.

  7. LB December 21, 2014

    Goldenheart is fantastic, I cannot wait for this new album. Bring it on Dawn, my coins are ready.

  8. LB December 21, 2014

    BTW, that pic looks more photoshop than surgery. People need to stop jumping the gun and get all the facts.

  9. PreachItLikeItIs December 21, 2014

    All she got was a nose job which is pretty much what Hollywood does. Honestly it’s the first surgery they all get but to say she’s headed towards looking like Kim is ridiculous

  10. ~The Arcade~ December 21, 2014

    I wonder whether, she even recognizes herself anymore… cos it seems like every photo she posts, is a new face.

  11. Mother Miley December 21, 2014

    Looking like Janet Jackson on the cover.

  12. DanYiel Teflon December 21, 2014

    Just support the MUSIC HATERS!!

  13. LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. December 21, 2014

    Lil’ Kim is THAT B****! Hating as$ h0es better BOW THE FUUCK DOWN TO THE QUEEN OF RAP LIL’ KIM!!!!!!!!!!

  14. Cupid December 21, 2014

    Surgery? No, to me it just looks like someone contoured her nose for dear life!

  15. dre December 21, 2014

    she prob should push it back because Jazmine Sullivan album comes out that day.

  16. Musika December 21, 2014

    Her ‘Blackheart’ is the reason why Danity Kane are no longer together…

    • WETTER December 21, 2014

      So Corny. Anyway Aubrey plans to move on as a duo with weak a*** Shannon is the reason they are no longer together. The need to go behind Dawn back which they never denied is the reason they are no longer.
      They are no longer together is the reason why we are getting BlackHeart.

  17. BrandyRayannaStan December 22, 2014

    Who cares? Brandy will slay them all with studio album#7 #Queen

  18. Dev December 22, 2014

    The sad thing is that she doesn’t look good. Her eyes look too far apart and the nose (sliced, diced or contoured) looks unnatural. I personally don’t see the need for the change in look. Her success so far is based on her singing, music and the way she originally looked, changing her look so drastically at this point wont do her any favours.
