In an interview with Rap-Up.com, Dawn Richard has announced that her upcoming solo debut will be titled "GoldenHeart" and to expect it in late 2011 or early 2012.
Not only that, but the album will be the first of a trilogy, followed by "BlackHeart" and "RedemptionHeart." She played a couple of records for Rap-Up.com, including "Hollywood Story," which was produced by Rob Holliday, and "Running from Sane," produced by D'Mile. She says that the second track was inspired by Phil Collins and Meat Loaf.
An alleged new Dawn Richard track, "Control the Lights," has just appeared online. But, upon listening, it's not that new, after all. Basically, the track is "Can You Hear Love," from DJ Webstar's "Straight Outta Harlem" mixtape without DJ Webstar.
