To celebrate the release of her debut album Goldenheart , Dawn Richard stopped by Rap-Up’s studio to kick off our new “Sunset Sessions” performance series. While overlooking the famed Sunset Strip and the Hollywood sign, the Danity Kane alum and her production partner Druski performed an exclusive three-song set including her single “’86,” “Warfaire,” and the title track “Goldenheart,” which is Dawn’s favorite song on the album.
“It’s the most personal and I recorded it a long time ago,” she said. “It was one of the first times I had gone through something so horrible that I didn’t think I would be able to come back from it. I felt like I wanted to write about a record where we were naive enough to believe we could be saved by a shining prince. It was so naive, but we felt that it was real.”
Watch the rest of Dawn’s stripped-down set below. Goldenheart is now available in stores and on iTunes.
