Dawn Richard (who now goes by DΔWN) has a few choice words for the tense events transpiring across the country: “This shit ain’t right.”
In this tune called “Genocide,” the singer voices her concerns and frustrations regarding current events over an alternative, futuristic track.
About the song, the former Danity Kane singer says, “The world is on fire. In light of the absurd amount of deaths and riots happening, it felt only natural to stand and say this is enough. Watching the appalling things said by Fox News, Donald Trump, and multiple others with social power, I feel the need to riot and protest in my own way. I immediately went to the studio to voice my frustrations. This isn’t a single. This isn’t meant to be mainstream. It’s meant to make people stand. To make them feel. To make them go out and peaceful rally together for change. This is the new Genocide and I won’t stand by and say nothing anymore.”
"Genocide" is a break away from songs such as "Calypso" and "Projection" from her latest LP Blackheart.
Hear Dawn’s cry…
