Dawn Richard’s Second Line is a gorgeous record featuring fantastic, strange, esoteric sounds playing with house and club conventions. It’s a pioneering record and easily one of the best of the year.
Yet another impressive and experimental addition to Dawn’s discography, Second Line proves that this prolific artist is not running out of steam or fresh ideas any time soon.
Richard remains a testament to boundary-pushing, genre bending and expectation-shattering art, though Second Line's tempered grandiosity ultimately leaves her ambition underserved.
In more easily digestible amounts, Second Line contains evidence aplenty that Dawn Richard understands her world better than most.
One of the less appreciated artists in music is releasing another great album ready to conquer the mainstream, alternative media and the underground at the same time, because what she creates is not limited to any framework.
Goddamn that was a boring, painful, corny ass listen. I tried to give Dawn Richard so many chances but she keep on delivering nothing to me.... I just don't care about it anymore.
Ms. Richard has done it again! This is infectious in the best possible way. My body has done some unexplainable moves when I danced to the album.
it's good but the second half of the album is better.
