In news that comes as little surprise, former Danity Kane star Dawn Richard has revealed that she is currently prepping her solo debut – under the guidance of Diddy.
Set for release this Fall on Bad Boy / Interscope, the as yet untitled LP follows Richard’s critically acclaimed Valentines Day mixtape ‘#ATellTaleHeart’.
Speaking on the record, the Dirty Money staple said: I’ve been incredibly lucky to have been in two amazing groups, but I feel like I’ve never had the opportunity to show the world what I can do on my own” Describing her new sound she says:” It’s soulful, it’s raw, and it’s real”. {Source}
Since the demise of Danity Kane (if not even before), Dawn’s foray into the solo arena has been pretty much a given. Yet while her talent is undeniable (and a credit to a somewhat talent-starved industry), whether folk will be willing to welcome her back with open arms will be interesting to see. Many, after all, have not been able to shake off Diddy’s abrupt disbanding of Danity Kane, nor his arguable preferential treatment towards Dawn.
