New Song: Dawn Richard & Aundrea Fimbres (Formerly Of Danity Kane) – ‘Phoenix’ {Snippet}

In the wake of Danity Kane‘s second (and presumably final) split, some members have charged on together, while other others have re-embarked on their solo journeys.

For the group’s nucleus Dawn Richard, the latter is her chosen path.

The singer is readying her new album ‘Blackheart’ for release on January 15th and, in an interesting nod to her DK days, has called on former bandmate Aundrea Fimbres to join her on the song ‘Phoenix’.

A snippet of the track has surfaced ahead of the project’s arrival. Take a listen below…

Meh.

While we won’t cast judgement until hearing the track in its entirety, the snippet doesn’t boast enough bite to grip interest. Definitely not in the way most of the material on the stellar ‘DK3’ did.

Yes it’s great to see the members still showing solidarity, but we just don’t envisage the masses warming to these half baked collaborations. Same goes for whatever Aubrey and Shannon are busying themselves with.

From where we’re standing, it’s oh so clear that Danity Kane was each member’s best bet at success at this point of their careers. But harping on about what could have been feels a bit redundant at this point.

As such, we’ll await ‘Blackheart’ and hope for Dawn’s sake that it packs more heat than this.
