Former Danity Kane/Dirty Money member Dawn Richard has released her new single "86". The song serves as the first single from her upcoming debut studio "GoldenHeart", the first in a trilogy. The album will be released on October 16th.

Produced by Druski, the track is an 80's-inspired synth ballad. This is a departure from her previously music released from her EP "Armor On".

Richard recently told Interview magazine: "For "86" my producer Drew and I really went back to the basics. I also grew up listening to Prince, Genesis, Cyndi [Lauper], Peter Gabriel, and Phil Collins, which you hear a lot of in "86." Their sound resonated in my life and my childhood, so, it's really in a sense the beginning of my story. And that's exactly what "86" and Goldenheart is for me. A new beginning. "86" is really the most naked single I've ever had".

The single is available to purchase on iTunes now.
