DAWN’s ‘sauce’ Is A Celebration Of Black Femininity

It's taken from her 'new breed' LP...

DAWN has shared her powerful new song 'sauce' – tune in now.

The American artist pushes the envelope once more on incoming record 'new breed', which lands on Local Action in just a few days.

The latest preview is 'sauce', a twisting, almost metallic exploration of R&B's outer limits.

Produced by Cole M.G.N and Hudson Mohawke, it shares a gospel influence in the backing vocals, with DAWN celebrating black femininity.

Lyrically on-point, DAWN's clipped vocal is both open, honest, and exuberant. She describes 'sauce' as being “about women taking pride in their prowess, and about being raised to celebrate my skin”.

“I lost focus of that when so many men degraded and disrespected my brown skin. 'Sauce' is about being bathed in your own beauty, being sexy for you. The new breed of women are unapologetic about sex and the way they choosing to express themselves."

Tune in now.

'new breed' will be released on January 25th.
