DΔWN's, aka Dawn Richard, last album Blackheart (2015) was FACT Magazine's #1 album of the year. It was in the Best Album of 2015 charts by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Vogue, LA Times, Spin, Elle, Noisey and The Guardian, who called it "the most ambitious and revelatory album of 2015." Her first single of 2016, Not Above That (LOC 027EP), has garnered just as much success and she followed it with a series of show-stealing shows at SXSW (at the Pitchfork, Spin, FACT and Hype Hotel showcases). She also collaborated with Kingdom on "Honest", which received Pitchfork's Best New Track. With future collaborations in the works, she looks set to continue breaking down barriers of music, performance and technology. Redemption strikes the perfect balance between future-facing electronic music (with production from Machinedrum and Noisecastle III) and the music of DΔWN's New Orleans upbringing, bound together by an untouchable approach to songwriting and flawless vocal range. The final part in a trilogy that started with Goldenheart (2013) and continued with Blackheart, it represents her most focused, complete album yet. Features contributions by Trombone Shorty and PJ Morton.

Dawn Richard aka D∆WN presents "Not Above That," the second official single released in advance of her highly anticipated 2016 album RED*emp*tion. Produced by Machinedrum and written by DΔWN and Maya Vik, it reflects the more up-tempo vibe of DΔWN's Red Era, but is packed with late-night longing and subtle emotion. This 12" is pressed on clear vinyl and includes a remix by Deadboy. Richard's acclaimed 2015 album Blackheart took the top spot in FACT's "50 Best Albums of 2015" and appeared on year-end lists at Pitchfork, Tiny Mix Tapes, Rolling Stone, the LA Times, Spin, Rap-Up, and more; RED*emp*tion completes the trilogy begun with that album and 2013's Goldenheart.
