Peep This: Dawn Richard’s ‘Riot’ And ‘Northern Lights’ Videos

Girl group Danity Kane may be working on a comeback, but that isn’t stopping Dawn Richard from still doing her solo thing. The Danity Kane singer released a new video for her songs “Riot’ and “Northern Lights” from her album Blackheart.

 As reported by rap-up.com:

“One year after the release of her critically-acclaimed debut Goldenheart, Dawn Richard’s video for “Riot” and “Northern Lights” has surfaced online. The Danity Kane songstress shot the seven-and-a-half-minute visuals in May of last year, but it was put on the back burner after she parted ways with her production partner Druski.

“The video picks up where ‘’86′ [her previous singe] left off, and marks the second and third chapters in her visual choreography film. Dawn unleashes some fierce moves as she battles her opponents, dressed in her warrior princess garb.”

Danity Kane is also in the studio working on new music for their reported reunion. According to group member Aubrey O’Day:

“This time we wanted to come back on our own free will and mostly the music, we love making music. We’re in the studio right now [and] actually with Stereotypes, who did ‘Damaged.’ And we have a new song that we love called ‘Rage.’ So we’re really excited about that.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
