New Song: Dawn Richard – ‘Broken Record’

Published: Friday 4th Feb 2011 by Trent

Dawn Richard has premiered another song from her ‘A Prelude To #ATELLTALEHEART’ project. ‘Broken Record’ will be available along with the rest of the mixtape on February 7th. Listen to the track below:

Once again Dawn has delivered an impressive track. Vocally and melodically the song was solid on all fronts with the except of the spoken segments in the chorus which were unpleasantly reminiscent of Danity Kane’s ‘Bad Girl (Ft. Missy Elliott)’.

It seems that the material from this mixtape is more consistent that the collection of noisy beats that was Diddy-Dirty Money’s ‘Last Train To Paris’ LP. All the more reason why Dawn should focus on building a solo career instead of stifling her talents in that group.

Props to Necole Bitchie for the track.

  9. WonderLand19 February 4, 2011

    Love this song. Well done Dawn.
    PLUS, Last Train to Paris wasn’t a collection of noisy beats. The album was very imagative and creative. Something lacking from the music industry today.

    Dawns voice reminds me Brandy so much… I love everything I heard from her so far & im so excited for the mixtape! Go Dawn

  11. She is EVERYTHING February 4, 2011

    I still can’t bring myself to listen to her records but I gotta say. Trent is usually on her ass like she the debil himself so if he is saying such good things about her it’s got to be good. Good for her.

    I’m really liking the art work that goes with this mixtape. It seems like she really has a good grasp on who she wants to be as a solo artist and that’s a great start.

  12. brazio February 4, 2011

    i just dont like her 4 some reason…

  13. YES SIR! February 4, 2011

    THIS SONG IS HOTT!!! KEEP BRINGING IT DAWN!

  14. abrakadabra February 4, 2011

    she is not an original type-more like a copy cat! The song is ok. She has unique voice. Btw she sings here abt P-Diddy!haha, she’s been used-she was going hard to get under his skin, poor girl-but u’ll be ok Dawn-u’ve learned that you can’t make no one love you! She is weak character, that’s the problem with her…

  15. abrakadabra February 4, 2011

    and only self conceited woman can put the verse “I’m more woman that the females that you dated…that ain’t ego thats just me talkin” this would never occur to me to say it to anyone—wow…how will that make you gain any respect…

  16. LUVN February 4, 2011

    I heard a snippet of the finished song a while ago and I LOVED It then!! I cannot wait for everyone to see the video! HOT S***!! =D

    You guys need to check out her blog too, its dope. http://dawnrichardblog.com

  17. Unknown February 4, 2011

    This is the third song I heard from Dawn and it just keeps on getting better and

  18. jeremydante February 5, 2011

    that other song “vibrate” by dawn is sick as f***. y’all need to post that here.

  19. Is EVERYTHING February 5, 2011

    Yesss to abrakadabra – This must be either Kim, Cassie or one of their friends.

    Yes. I do believe allot of these songs are CLEARLY about Diddy. All you Dawn stans hate to admit it but if you watch them together you’ll see they have that “Hate that you love Me” type chemistry, he hates that she is clearly still tryna make him love her. If you don’t believe me watch any interview, performance, video of Dirty Money and you’ll see how uncomfortable Diddy is with Dawn and how she always tries to get close to him. That hate that you love me video. Why do Diddy and Dawn have moments. Like close and s***.

    Dawn got played. Diddy hit it and quit it and Dawn f***** up her whole damn world (and her man Ques) in the hope that Diddy would wife her. Girl stop writing these damn love song. That n**** don’t want you and you look dumb as s*** right now. Whid ya off key singing ass.

    March 7th watch All About Aubrey. She may have let him hit but she got the last laugh!

  20. YES SIR! February 5, 2011

    ABRAKADABRA@ISEVERYTHING ARE BOTH MISERABLE! THESE SONGS DO NOT SOUND LIKE IT’S ABOUT DIDDY! THIS GIRL HAS BEEN DATING Q FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. AND THE FIRST THING THAT COME TO YALL MIND, IS DIDDY. GET THE FU*K OUT OF HERE! THIS GIRL IS PUTTING OUT SOME HOT TRACKS. AND ALL YALL CAN DO IS HATE! FURTHERMORE, CASSIE AIN’T DIDDY MAIN CHICK ANYHOW! DAWN IS OBVIOUSLY DOING SOMETHING RIGHT BECAUSE YALL SEEM TO CARE. WOW! HERE COMES THE UNHAPPY PEOPLE! 🙁

  21. Is EVERYTHING February 5, 2011

    It’s about Diddy go ask Kim, Cass, Que and damn near anyone that’s been around them fools. That’s why aint NOBODY like her. NOBODY!! She’s a corny, BEYOND mediocre, TONE DEAF desperado. This mixtape will serve as nothing more than proof that she has little to no talent.

    The reason 50 told Chelsea to call Dawn Kima on the show was because Dawn is without question the least talented member of her group. Just Like Kima.

  22. ~RiCiBey(Breezy)~ February 5, 2011

    Go Dawn!

  23. vegasgirl February 5, 2011

    Sounds good

  24. YES SIR! February 5, 2011

    Is everything, where is your album at. How do you know what Kim, Cass, and Que are thinking. And how in the hell you know what 50 cent said to Chelsea! Oh I know, because you’re PYSCHO! Obviously she has talent because I like all three songs. And she is getting a hell of a good response. Is everything, get over it! I know you are just mad! Haters need love too!

  25. YES SIR! February 5, 2011

    Is everthing, sorry I forgot my question marks? HATER! ON A ALL TIME HIGH!

  26. Is EVERYTHING February 5, 2011

    Lots of people like the birdie song. Does not mean the writer was talented.

    I really don’t need to be any bodies head my love but if you know s***, you know s***. I know s***.

  27. Is EVERYTHING February 5, 2011

    Excuse me *in anybody’s”.

  28. Huh February 5, 2011

    WOW, I came on here to listen to a song and ran into Aubrey stans condoning Aubrey for sleeping with Diddy, but condemning Dawn for allegedly doing the same, haters, and people “that know sh$t”…interesting night, must be my lucky day…. *blank stare*….Now, if only there was a therapist on here, everything would be perfect–lol

    I think the song is ok, I liked the slower one from yesterday better.

    What I don’t understand is how and why people are so caught up in other’s personal lives. If you don’t like the girl, do as most sane people do and act like she doesn’t exist. Why spend the energy to slander someone?

    Anyhoo…only insecure and self-loathing people feel the need to put down others in order to make themselves or someone else look better. Talent speaks for itself, if your choice entertainers have talent, it’ll shine through without knocking someone else down. That old “crabs-in-a-barrell” mentality, I tell ya….smh!

  29. MUSIC LOVER February 5, 2011

    LOL Diddy is a richass m*********** who the f*** wouldn’t sleep with him to get ahead?!

  30. Cant we all just get along February 5, 2011

    Amen. Hallelujah!

    This is about a song. For me I feel there is something off about the beat and the vocal, they don’t fit well together. I too prefer the song from yesterday but over all I’m underwhelmed by what I’ve heard so far.

    Finally. Why does anything Dawn related spiral into a vicious “Dawn/Diddy/DK” thing? What she does in her personal life should be off limits unless she states otherwise, and I believe she stated she wants it to be about music ONLY.

  31. IKNOWTHETRUTH February 5, 2011

    Y’all ignore the hater. He/She/It is really ArchitectOne from twitter. She rants all day long about Dawn on her twitter page. It’s obvious she has some sick, twisted obsession with Dawn because she keeps up with every move Dawn makes. I really wish her family/friends would get her the mental health attention that she needs cause it’s obvious that she is sick. She types the same nasty comments about Dawn on every last blog. What sane person does that? If she truly wasn’t checking for Dawn she wouldn’t bother to click on any link that is Dawn-related. Sick puppy. Y’all hit her twitter page up and give her some followers so she can actually tweet people instead of ranting about Dawn all day. God bless the mentally ill.

    For those that like Dawn and/or her music, don’t forget to download her mixtape on February 7. Go to her blog: http://www.dawnrichardblog.com

  34. DJ February 5, 2011

    I’m sorry but I don’t see any Brandy in Dawn I see more of Prince then anybody because his notes ad-libs and runs is very Prince influence.

  35. JonathanGardnerTV February 5, 2011

    YAAASS DAWN!

    This mixtape is going to be hot!
    I’m sick of her standing behind Diddy’s shadow!
    She needs to be out there on her own!

    She has the songwriting and singing ability! She could do a Keri Hilson and write hits for others, secure herself a deal elsewhere and then work on a solo album, while releasing mixtapes in the meantime!

  36. CJ February 6, 2011

    I have always been a BIG FAN of dawn. She just has that star quality. It’s undeniable.

  37. troy February 6, 2011

    THIS SONG IS FIREEEEE!WOW SHE IS THE NEXT R&B CHICK TO TAKE OVER LEAVE DIRTY MONEY ALONE DO YA OWN THING! HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT RECORD

  38. Mr. Mouth February 6, 2011

    And why was this supposed to be impressive? I’m not understanding at all. It sounds like a BSide or an unreleased leak from someone’s album. Real talk.
