Dawn Richard shares "Bubblegum"
Musician, multimedia artist, and director Dawn Richard returns with her first new music of 2023.
As a founding member of Danity Kane, and later with Diddy’s Dirty Money, Richard has explored the ins and outs of commercial pop music – from her 2016 debut EP Infrared through to 2019's new breed.
"Bubblegum" is Richard's first release since Pigments – the 2022 collaborative album with multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer Spencer Zahn.
Speaking of the song, Richard says: “Leaning back into the Electro Revival era, I wanted to remind people that King Creole is just getting started. The preface to the second installment of the Electro Revival, "Bubblegum" is a cocky candy-coated conundrum. Full of sass that only a New Orleans King can have, this yummy multi-genre single is just a taste of what’s to come.”
"Bubblegum" is out now on Merge Records.
