One of music's most distinctive voices and songwriters of the past decade, D∆WN, aka Dawn Richard, announces she will drop her highly anticipated new album Redemption on November 18via Local Action / Our Dawn Entertainment. Largely produced by MachineDrum and D∆WN, it's her most powerful work to date as she expands on her boundless, future-focused electronic sound to create a highly infectious body of work, showcased by her thunderous new track "Renegades." It's the last installment in the trilogy that includes her critically-acclaimed albums Goldenheart and Blackheart, the latter of which was ranked as one of 2015's best albums by Pitchfork, FACT, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Stereogum, The FADER, Spin and many more. It's also a coming of age for Dawn where she delves into her relationship with the music industry and speaks to today's current events with messages about race issues, gender inequality, self love, and female empowerment. D∆WN revealed the album art and tracklisting through Billboard and spoke to them about the album here: http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/7534147/dawn-redemption-album-renegades.

The album will be available as a digital release, vinyl and a special USB necklace designed by D∆WN that features a digital lyric book, VR content, exclusive photography and more - photo below. For more info visit: dawnrichard.net.

This comes hot on the heels of an explosive year for D∆WN, including performances at FORM Arcosanti, Moogfest and other festivals across the globe. She released her standout track "Not Above That" and followed it up with her lauded INFRARED EP with L.A.-based producer Kingdom. She also dropped a fully immersive virtual reality video via WIRED and launched YouTube's first ever "live 360-degree" video performance series. D∆WN continues to push boundaries and create her own way with no end in sight.

PRESS PRAISE FOR D∆WN:

"She manages to live inside her own genre, somewhere between futurism and ancient ballads, between Janelle Monáe, Rihanna, and Adele" - PITCHFORK

"It seems she has hit her stride, taking the aesthetic of her first album and the emotion of her second, and combining them on this track. If the whole album sounds like this, it will be fantastic" - STEREOGUM

"The music she's produced has been a compelling mix of the familiar and the exploratory. She and her producers fuse it with often unconventional production and song structure that takes more from the electronic world - and a lyrical and visual imagination that is heavily influenced by high fantasy, sci-fi, and Greek mythology" - THE VERGE

"D∆WN continues to expand and bend the confines of modern sound and genre" - HYPETRAK
