DAWN—previously known as D∆WN and Dawn Richard—hasreleased a new track “new breed” and announced an album of the same name.
“I am a lion/I am a woman/Nothing can stop me,” sings DAWN during the new song. Interestingly, the track is interspersed with clips from what appears to be a previous DAWN interview in which the artist is asked whether she finds women attractive. “I find women attractive, but I think if I didn’t, I wouldn’t find myself attractive,” DAWN responds.
New breed will be released January 25 via Local Action Records/Our Dawn Ent. A follow-up to DAWN’s 2016 LP Redemption, the album will include collaborations with Hudson Mohawke, Cole M.G.N. and Kaveh Rastegar.
Last month, DAWN released a song titled “jealousy,” which will also appear on new breed. She also released an Adult Swim single called “Waves” in February.
