And its produced by Kingdom(one of Kelela's producers)
Let's see. I liked "Honest"
Honest was cool
These other ones, idk. Sounds like the typical sound from her (vocally)
Wait, lemme see
Paint It Blue & Baptize
(https://66.media.tumblr.com/cb03ec5b0a705a805cf4f7f996d8aca8/tumblr_o41wdpiSEh1rql1mzo1_500.gif)
I really love her music and artistry :stressed:
Kingdom outdid himself w/ these beats on Baptize
(http://i.imgur.com/wARLXBO.gif)
"From first meet, I knew D∆WN and I could create some great thing together. She instantly gravitated towards these four productions," Kingdom wrote in an email to The FADER that broke down the EP.
"'How I Get It' is one we made on the spot together, even with just chimes and a snap laid down, D∆WN knew exactly how to ride the beat to give it the undeniable attitude that carries the whole song. Working with the Fade To Mind team, it seemed like she felt safe bringing out her more vulnerable emotional side, with the productions creating space for that as well."
"I've always appreciated Fade to Mind's sound," D∆WN added. "It only felt right to take do a special project with them that was curated around simplicity. We wanted something raw and personal. Something you haven't heard from both parties."

:stressed:
It's cool. I like Honest and Baptize.
She needs Druski though.
Sounds kinda DOPE
I miss hearing her voice without vocoder
Her try too hard sound is just lame.
"How I get it" is slaying
Bitch lemme sift her $5
These sound good and don't sound as try hard or too far out there like her usual mess
Let me listen
Oh this is cute
Honest was released weeks ago right? it sounds awesome (hearing it yet)
lets see what the other tracks give
"Honest" is cool or whatever..
the songs don't really go anywhere.
waiiiit, this Paint it blue is really dope and unique. I use a lot, this feels different for her imo
This kinda sucks
Why is this 4 tracks?
What is this
She better put it on TIDAL
its an EP. 4 tracks are fine imo.
4-5. half an album, at least the oldest ones with just 10 tracks lol
A collection of musical art? The museum is open? Why is she still acting so pretentious
Anyways let me check this out
just heard this in full again now and ugh.... I use this A LOT. Are all these tracks done by the same producer? if so, he's sooo talented. This feels fresh and unique, Im not really a Dawn stan/fan, but there's something about her sound/music that just connects with me. She definetly has good taste musically. She sounds smooth on some parts, lovely in others, cautivating in others....
hearing now Paint it blue once again and
:flamebroiled:
"no love no love na na na"
so dope!
if there were more people doing music like this, I would just use the same way
This is good!
WAI', I'm getting 'A Tell Tale Heart' Dawn.
Yes Dawn. Slowly return to me. I still need for her to give me back that Tell Tale Heart / Goldenheart sound though but these songs are fresh. Not exactly great but nice.
wait queen

How tf can someone try hard to create art? Like tf. Who wants to be basic and mediocre at their craft? True artists step out of their comfort and create.

i think because as a person, she never seemed all the way genuine. makes it hard for people to take her seriously i guess
just guessing lol

Whats the point of bringing up Kelis because Dawn is a try hard/fraud lol.
Kelis has always been ahead of the girls musically.

This isn't really her project. This is a collaborative effort with a producer. She's an artist and just creating, artistic self
Yea, kelis is shit and so is her music. Throwing on tribal face paint aint making her no real damn artist
Only thing I don't like is she seems to stop repping her r&b roots. The platforms that she gets on the spheres that she moves it's ok to shout out r&b music once in a while
But Dawn shits on Kelis. Kelis' albums are full of filler

Technically it is her project, it has her name on it. And tbh every album is a collaborative effort.
I'm a fan of hers and get she's just creating but imo it's the weakest body of music she's put out.
And yea
Dawn>Kelis
My fellow hearts, don't you feel
Dawn is a BIT pretentious though sometimes ...

Well maybe that's not the music she wants to do anymore. I think we talk about black artists for staying in the R&B lane but we kinda expect them to always be there to some extent. It's like when people are always saying brandy should try to recreate full moon or get with Rodney. I think she said it best with, if that's what u wanna hear then go back and listen to when i gave that. Im not complaining about Dawn experimenting with sounds, let these artists be creative.

Dawn ugly ass did it...5 years later with that stale trash music.
Kelis is just so far ahead of Dawn.
Dawn is like the Great Value Twigs & Kelela.
and no one knows Dawn personally to say what's genuine or not. Like that's stupid. What does any of that have to do with the music? The art? When I'm listening to a song/album I'm not thinking about whether the artist is genuine or not. That's irrelevant.
When people have falling outs, of course a person would bad mouth their name but since then no one has EVER came out and spoke negatively of Dawn. I've also never heard Dawn speak negatively about Dru or Aub/Shannon publicly for that matter either.

Yea, sometimes. I still feel that her music is authentically her tho. The girl is indie and coming out her own pocket to give us this music. Why tf would she create music that she didn't connect with, there's no reason to.

Kelis makes shit music, she has a shit voice, and the only thing that made her earlier work even tolerable was the music that came at the hands of Pharrell n nem. She's a terrible musician :kii:
yeah, Ive always found the "trying too hard" comment stupid. You can tell those who use to say that dont know much about art, so each time they hear something different is "trying too hard" :dead: :dead: :dead:
I guess some people only listen to Bieber, Taylor, Ariana or Rihanna, lol.

I agree. The music business is a shady ass business and not set up to make these life long ass friends. Thats why i dont even bother going in those "brandy fell out with this hoe " threads. We dont know these people and don't know the reason behind their shit, and don't even know if ANY of the shit is true. All sitting around speculating on if hoes are still friends, plea

I kinda sorta agree. Maybe not that they dont know about "art" but we come to like certain sounds and styles from people and expect them to give us that moment in time FOREVER. Its just not realistic. People grow and evolve in life so why would they be stagnant in their art, it's silly imo. There just comes a time when u have to stop listening to certain artists and that's ok.

Dawn fake edgy is going nowhere fast. Nothing about her is mindblowing or fresh.
Only basic fags like yourself think the trash that she's making is something innovative.
Dawn is a joke lol.

I don't listen to any of those artists, but I know that what Dawn is doing is just not authentic.
Even in her interviews she tries to give deep, "I grew up listening to this artist and that artist" when be sounding a plum fool.
:plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
you are talking about her as a person, not about her music.
Could you just talk about her music? the actual issue of the topic? lol
It's cool. Not her best IMO
