Dawn Richard has released her second single, "Not Above That," from her upcoming third solo album, RED*emp*tion!

According to Rolling Stone, the electronic, upbeat track was produced by Machinedrum and written by Dawn and Maya Vik, Dawn's distinctive, sexy vocals stand out on the track. "If I beg for it, will you get me off?" she asks. "I want it all." RED*emp*tion is the final album of her trilogy, which includes Goldenheart and Blackheart.

Check out the track below!

"It's a mystery how no one's figured you out."

I don't profess to be the biggest Dawn Richard fan, but the girl is very talented! Check out the video for her newest single, "S.M.F.U. (Save Me From You)" below!

"S.M.F.U." is the first single from Dawn's upcoming album Goldenheart, which will be the first in a trilogy of albums that Dawn has planned for release. The song itself has a cool concept of a man being a superhero, but coming to his girl's rescue last.

Dawn has always been great at songwriting and singing ballads, so I'm glad that she's branching beyond Diddy-Dirty Money, and doing her solo thing (which I thought she would be doing all along, but....well, yeah). I'll definitely support her when the album comes out! (Via Necole Bitchie)


Well I guess Que has moved on to something new from Day26. Que and Dawn (formerly of Danity Kane, now of Dirty Money, some group with Diddy and some other chick) apparently are still together and have an MTV show in the works, according to BET. Que recently did an interview with Angie Ange from WKYS in D.C. (DMV baby!!!) and his manager released the news. (Go to BET Blogs to hear the audio of the interview!) According to Que, it's gonna be some real stuff and no bitchassness lol so we shall see. Of course, I'm gonna tune in. Reality TV junkie over here. Plus I have a strong feeling that some members of Day26 may make an appearance, or at least yell over the phone lol.

Yeah, Que seems to be coming into his own. He has this show coming out now, and he will release a mixtape next Tuesday. Still waiting to see if he will make or break without Day26. Pretty sure Day26 (who has left Bad Boy for Atlantic Records and are already recording the new album--GOOD MOVE FELLAS!!!) will make it without him lol.

PEACE.
