Since taking flight solo, Dawn Richard has established herself as one of the industry’s most exciting prospects. Indeed, the last year has seen the former Bad Boy beauty etch her name into mass consciousness with jaw-dropping music videos and concepts that push envelopes.
Hence, it’s little surprise that the singer is drawing on these traits for her new single ’86’ and its accompanying short film. The lead release from Richard’s ‘GoldenHeart’ album (due next year), the track’s visual features a homage to the group that started her journey – Danity Kane.
“’86 is a homage to my past,” says Dawn. “Everyone wants to look at the Danity Kane thing as a negative but it’s a positive. The girls have been and continue to be a guiding force in my journey throughout this music business.“
Peep more pics below…
While we feel Danity Kane’s break-up will forever remain one of Pop’s most tragic tragedies (see: unfulfilled potential), we’re enjoying watching Dawn’s solo ascend. Bring on the video!

She is one flawless women, really beautiful and talented. It looks very creative and I cannot wait to see more of this. Beautiful Dawn.
OK. She is talented and starting to push the creative scape. Why is she not getting signed to a major? Cassie and Christina Millian cannot sing, yet they stay getting major label deal after label deal. WHY?
So dope.
Miss Danity Kane & Love Her.
Yes Dawn!!! I’m so hyped to see this video!
FLOP F L O P FLOP FLOP
She needs to bleach her skin too dark
what do u mean?
f*** SHA (F*** THE NAVY AND LAX) they’re clearly ignorant and misguided. WHO ARE THEY TO JUDGE SOMEONES SKIN COLOR? #NOBODY. ONE DAY HE/SHE WILL SEE WHY THEY’RE GONNA ROT IN HELL FOR BEING A DISGUSTING, PREJUDICE, RACIST ASSHOLE.
You always call dark skinned people ugly, I honestly think your either a racist or prejudice which just shows how ignorant you are as a person. God makes all human beings different for a reason no one was meant to look the same as the other. Its comments like your that displays why the black community has issues with skin color (LIGHT SKIN VS. DARK SKIN) which is a highly ignorant and unethical debate. Dark skin is beautiful. You should be ashamed for treating people badly because their skin is darker than yours.
great video…
so is this really the past DK members, agreeing to be in her video? Wow. That must take a lot for the ones trying to make it on their own.
that’s not aubs, shannon, drea and D. just girls portraying them…

She needs some lotion or oil on that ashy thigh…
Love just another DK album….
