Dawn Richard Debuts New Song, “New Or Lean”: Listen
After the announcement of her headlining show in London later this summer, Dawn Richard is keeping the good news coming with a brand new song called “New Or Lean.”
“To coincide with this announcement of my first UK show … I’d like to release some new music … Are ya’ll down?” she tweeted yesterday before releasing the song.
Kicking off with a sample of a speech from 1966’s The Wild Angels, the New Orleans-bred songstress drops into a club-ready, party-friendly cut crafted by producer Swagg R’Celious. “Like Bey, I’mma come out of nowhere/Drop shit, break the Internet/I’m so New Or Lean/Bitches wan’ be me,” she confidently proclaims across the heavily vocoded electro track.
