Dawn Richard Responds To Criticism She’s Lightening Her Skin

Dawn_Richard_Light_Dark_Skin_CriticismFormer ‘Danity Kane’ and ‘Dirty Money’ artist Dawn Richard has been busy pursuing her solo career, but lately she’s been looking a bit different.

I couldn’t put my finger on it but I thought she may have gotten a nose job, or lightened her skin but then rescinded to thinking, ‘maybe it’s just the makeup’, and left it alone. After all, Dawn has spoken out publicly about the hardships of being a ‘brown girl’ in an industry where being of fairer skin, long hair and a bodacious body will get you far.

Well, some fans and foes weren’t going to leave it alone. They’ve, pretty much, called Dawn out on bleaching her skin and trying to look lighter to enhance her music career.

Here are some more recent photos of the singer. Dawn_Richard_Light_New_Face _______READMORE

Dawn Richard Covers PYNK Magazine

Singer/songwriter Dawn Richard recently sat down with PYNK magazine to discuss her growing solo music career, her personal style, who are her crushes, keeping in touch with her former band-mates and so much more. Here’s what Dawn had to say.

*Where do you see your music career going in the next 5 years? *

“I would hope that my music reaches the masses without losing anyone in the process. I think musically when people listen to this RnB and watch the dance that goes along with it the movements are a little bit more moving, than when people simply listen to other RnB. I hope that the word innovative would be used a lot. I hope that after people have seen the same thing over and over again, their eyes will be open to something different. I am a storyteller, and I would love to be telling who I am while continuing to push the envelope through my music.”

*What has been one of the most memorial moments in the your music career? *

“There are so many moments, I have had an amazing timeline of events. I think the time when I made the group Dainty Kane, as well as the time I gotto work with Legend Grace Jones.”

*How would you describe your personal style? *

“I am a huge fan of pushing the envelope, I am a hippy at heart. I enjoy mixing different prints and patterns together.”
