I swear no disrespect to Normani but allllll the recognition and acclaim she's been getting ... No.... Dawn should've gotten that years ago!!!!!

[@jaquariouswillis7033]

They are both 2 different people and Normani deserves every recognition and acclaim that she has gotten. You shouldnt try to take from one black womans success to give to another. I love Dawn, she is a great singer and performer but she hasnt put a single out that has popped unlike Normani who has several.

[@vgreen1106]

@@jaquariouswillis7033 Thank you for your feedback.

[@deedydeed]

@@jaquariouswillis7033 Well, let’s be clear when we throw out the point of “Dawn has never had a Single that’s popped like Normani”, that may be true but Dawn has also never had the budget, spotlight or platforms Normani has been afforded so far in her career 🎯 Those comparisons shouldn’t even exist between Dawn & most Mainstream Artists because she’s not even in the same position as any of them but the fact that people like you can say something like that and she still be compared to people like a Normani says a lot 💁🏾‍♂️ But trust, if Dawn was signed to a Label years ago, this would be a VERY different conversation. Don’t let platforms, distract u from true talent or impact 💯

[@DeeJoyce]

​​@@deedydeedhe comparisons are unnecessary as these two artists have both been signed to labels with big budgets. Dawn was signed by Diddy in 2 groups but when it came time for her to present her solo work she wanted to end her contract and go the independent route. So she cashed in and has funded her own art to retain creative control. It's not about being bigger than another performer or being mainstream, Dawn is about her authenticity & artistry. Whereas Normani is signed to major label that has her shelved without releasing any new music despite the outcry from her fanbase and a lot of people in the general music audience. She's not been treated properly or as a priority on her label. So she has to sit and watch RCA push everything Doja.

[@deedydeed]

@@DeeJoyce I agree 100% and that’s exactly my point 🎯 I don’t like that a lot of the general public is dismissive towards Dawn’s efforts bc she’s not a “Mainstream Artist”, all people wanna talk about these days is numbers and superficial things that ultimately don’t truly define talent or artistry. I’ve seen people try Dawn like this for years and it’s just annoying, u cannot compare an Independent Artist who has never been signed to a big budget label as a Solo Act, to someone whose been afforded a Solo Label contract and has been pushed, whether mildly or heavily can be argued. Normani doesn’t have her label’s full support but she’s been promoted in ways Dawn hasn’t and that’s what some Music fans don’t get about the Industry, it’s not just “fair game” for everyone. I’m very confident that if Dawn had been signed all these years, she would have definitely been a bigger Artist w/o a doubt but I know those things don’t matter to her so much 💯

[@AnEvilBlackHeart]

Cannot believe this has been out for 2 years! Still listen to it to this day, can't get enough of Dawn

[@soniakiwi]

An interview on Vocalist Magazine brought me here. Since I had no idea who Dawn was, I initially thought that she was frontin' saying how unique her style was and the like, you know, typical artist talk. But when I watched this video I was proven wrong. I loved the tribal strong femme theme Richards had going in; she did her more sensual dance moves with class, something I don't see much these days. Dawn's vocals were tight too; it's like she became an instrument rather than sing loud to prove her talents.

Yes, i love her mentality behind her music. She's often said in interviews she's always tried to be different sonically and really infect a visual style or sensation into her music and it really shows.

[@lonnabunny8820]

I don’t understand why her solo career didn’t go more mainstream?! She is incredibly talented

[@CuriousByChoice1389]

Because Diddy made some calls. He has the connections to blow you up or blow you down. Everybody who joins bad boy usually gets 15 minutes of fame then a life changer while Diddy gets richer as theres decline or settle for less.

[@PS-Tekken]

Because going mainstream usually requires the artist sacrifice things they don’t want to fit the industries standards. She probably didn’t want to compromise her artistry so kept it the indie route.

[@deedydeed]

@@PS-Tekken That was exactly what it was 🎯 U can tell from the beginning of her Solo career, that she wanted to “shake the table”, so to speak in the Industry w/ her sound at the time that combined R&B w/ House/EDM beats but she would always say that when she had meetings w/ different labels, that they would try to convince her to make her sound more “Mainstream” or tell her that they didn’t want to “take a risk”, putting a budget behind her alternative sound. They didn’t want her to be great, they wanted her to “fall in line” 💯
