Following her acclaimed trilogy of solo albums, electronic r&b innovator DAWN (formerly Dawn Richard) returns with new breed, a new 10-track project that dates back to her upbringing in New Orleans, taking in the city’s rich traditions and musical heritage.
On new breed, DAWN goes back to her roots, drawing from the “strength, power, vulnerability and culture” that growing up in New Orleans has given her, and letting the city’s rich musical heritage and the traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians come to the forefront of her music and visuals. In the video for the project’s first single ‘Jealousy’, we see Chief Montana of the Washitaw Nation, a tribe that has been in DAWN’s family for generations, while on the cover of the release DAWN wears a washitaw nation tribes traditional garb hand sewn by Montana - making her one of the first women to wear a chief’s headdress, symbolising the new evolution of women and their power.
