New Orleans native Dawn Richard is a trailblazing R&B artist that has forged her own unique path during her 15-year career. Originally emerging onto the scene in 2005 as a member of the R&B group Danity Kane, Dawn has since embarked on a stunning solo career to display her innovative and expansive take on R&B that's infused with cutting-edge club rhythms and the New Orleans bounce of her hometown. Following solo releases on her own Our Dawn Entertainment label as well as progressive UK electronic label Local Action, Dawn signed with Merge Records for the release of her new 6th album Second Line that was just released this past April.
Packed with infectious anthems and sultry tunes, Dawn Richard introduces her exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight In A Perfect World with the phrase "Welcome to the Electro Revival," and she proceeds to put her own bold and colorful spin on the addictive synthetic genre with a mix of her own tunes alongside other contemporary standouts.
