Poor Thang: Dawn Richards Tries To Keep Her Dream Alive

It’s that Dirty Money! But will Dawn Richards be singing a new tune?

Dirty Money’s Dawn Richard hits the studio to work on her solo album, keeping her dream of being an r&b singer alive.

Richards takes it to the public with her future plans:

“I’ve been incredibly lucky to have been in two amazing groups, but I feel like I’ve never had the opportunity to show the world what I can do on my own,” says the 27-year-old singer-songwriter.

Dawn released her mixtape #ATellTaleHeart on Valentine’s Day, which Dawn described as “the soundtrack to my heart. It’s soulful, it’s raw, it’s real.”

It’s set to be released on Bad Boy/Interscope Records this fall.”

Dawn is due to perform with Dirty Money on American Idol this Thursday, and they’ve just announced a “Diddy-Dirty Money Coming Home Tour.” Will this be the last we see of the Dirty Money clan?

And will Dawn Richards be able to ‘do that dance, do that dance’ all over the Billboards without Diddy backing her semi-singing cakes?
