Dawn Richard – New Breed (Album download)
Dawn Richard dishes out a brand new album titled “New Breed” packed with 10 dope tracks. Jealousy” was our first taste of her fifth solo album New Breed, which is out in January. The album focuses on Richard’s upbringing in New Orleans. As in the “Jealousy” video, the cover art depicts her in the traditional headdress of the Washitaw Nation, a group of black Americans that claim to be a sovereign Native American tribe.
She’s also offered up the album’s title track: a stripped-back but bass-heavy slow-burner, full of flickering synths, fierce spitting beats, and feminist futurism. It appears to be her album manifesto: “I am a lion/ I am a woman/ Nothing can stop me/ I do what I want to/ I am, I am, I am, I am, I am.” Richard imagines an Amazonian female world which women have remade on their own terms: “I am the new breed/ But your crown don’t fit me,” switching between a woozy rap flow and reverberating vocal climbs.
