D?WN (aka Dawn Richard) is one of music's most distinctive voices and songwriters,
developing her own unique style via a tirelessly independent route. D?WN's last album
Blackheart was FACT Mag's #1 album of the year, and was in Best Album of 2015
charts by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Vogue, LA Times, Spin, Elle, Noisey and The
Guardian, who called it "the most ambitious and revelatory album of 2015". Her first
single of 2016, 'Not Above That' has sold over 2,000 units and 1,200,000 streams
across Spotify and SoundCloud, and she followed it with a series of stunning shows at
SXSW. She also collaborated with Kingdom on 'Honest', which received Pitchfork's
Best New Music. In April 2016 D?WN became the first ever artist to perform live in 360
degrees on YouTube, as part of YouTube's collaboration series with The Verge. She
also partnered with Wired for the release of a virtual reality version of 'Not Above That', and recently curated her own Boiler Room
in London, performing from a specially-build LED pyramid. With future collaborations in the VR world due for release, she looks
set to continue breaking down barriers of music, performance and technology. Her new solo album REDEMPTION strikes the
perfect balance between future-facing electronic music (with production from Machinedrum and Noisecastle III) and the music of
D?WN's New Orleans upbringing, bound together by an untouchable approach to song-writing and flawless vocal range. The final
part in a trilogy that started with GoldenHeart and continued with Blackheart, it represents her most focused, complete album yet.
