Dawn Richard is back!
Armed with a new record label, the eclectic singer-songwriter has announced her new album ‘Second Line’ and released the single ‘Bussifame’ as the project’s first fruit.
The high-octane cut calls on listeners to report to the dancefloor and, true to Richard’s sonic rule-breaker status, glides between a number of BPMs across its runtime.
Ahead of the April 30 arrival of ‘Second Line,’ take a listen to ‘Bussifame’ below…

I can’t wait to hear what she’s been working on. Dawn never disappoints. Had the opportunity to meet and sit with her for like a good hour last year. The coolest soul and so so down to earth. She’s silly too!! Had us rolling! Lol I respect her grind. Good job Dawn!❤️
Her songs are a bit too weird/experimental for me. I loved her in Diddy Dirty Money, and liked most of her Goldenheart album, but everything after that wasn’t for me. Her and Kalenna are very talented though.
When I saw that Dawn was putting out new music, I got excited. No offense to Dawn, but…🥱yawn! The album cover looks like something from 2012. All of it. I appreciate her avant-garde, experimental sound…. but NO! The clip sounds dated and tired. Only my opinion, respectfully. I do however, support her grind. She appears to be a real BOSS. In terms of handling her business.
*** Not album cover, I meant the new single cover, looks dated!
I agree.
Very dated but she is very talented.
I think some artist like her, Kelly Ro, Alexandria Burke, Tinashe…. still need artist development. Amazingly beautiful black queens but to be the mainstream succes that they hope for, they need a more commercial sound.
Experimental sounds are when u no longer care about status because ur a force ( Jay z, Diddy, bey, Janet)
Yaaaaaaay!!!!! I will be right there when the album comes out!
I WISH SHE WOULD STOP TRYIN SOOOO HARD TO HE DIFFERENT N JUST GIVE AN RNB ALBUM LIKE DK OR DIRTY MONEY AKA HER MOST SUCCESSFUL ENDEAVORS JUST SAYIN IT MAKES MORE SENSE. NO MORE EXPERIMENTS
She’s already done that and plus those lames are very crowded…go in dawn!
I think the single cover looks BOMB and I respect Dawn for taking her roots with her! Not everyone can see the vision and it’s fine. They’ll hop on the bandwagon later like they eventually do Chile. Keep shining Dawn can’t wait for the full album!
For the folks that’s complaining about dawn doing progressive music and not boxing herself, pack up your dang bags and go because she’s not gonna stick with the same palatte! Have you even seen the amount of retailers that’s going to be selling this album! That’s one thing I notice the grape juice didn’t bring up, was her signing with merge records! Already got my pre order 😈
