02/06: Dawn Richard Describes "A Tell Tale Heart" (Vibe Interview)
Vibe has an interview with Dawn Richard, touching on a myriad of topics, related to both Dirty Money and herself. This includes her decision to work with Diddy (and the comments people make about the man) and some insight into "A Tell Tale Heart," her mixtape that will be
released tonight.
You and this music thing are going strong. Tell me about the upcoming mixtape #ATellTaleHeart.
I’ve been in two groups, and I’ve done my duty in trying to be a team player. I love every minute of it and I’ve learned so much, but I’ve also gone through a whole lot these last four years. I’ve been homeless, I’ve been in a group, we did two platinum albums and then I lost my job. Our group dismantled, and I had to deal with that. I couldn’t grieve because I had to find out how I was gonna eat. I was struggling to write, then I made Dirty Money and Dirty Money was in the studio for three years. I never got a chance to grieve, cry, smile, laugh or anything about the last four years of my life. Because I’ve been in a group, I’ve had to cater to everyone else. This mixtape is my diary. This mixtape is every tear that I was supposed to cry, every smile that I was supposed to make, every angry feeling that I’ve ever felt from the time I made the band to now, a lot of things that happned in my love life and everything I never got a chance to say. And that’s why I called it ATellTaleHeart because, if each one of you fell into my heart, the heartbeats would sound like these songs. Flaws and all, here’s my diary and accept it.
