HOT OR NOT: DAWN RICHARD FEAT. TRINA – “BOTTLES”


♫ Dawn Richard feat. Trina – Bottles

Former Danity Kane starlet and current Dirty Money member Dawn Richard seems to be working on a solo project.

The Trina-assisted “Bottles” (produced by Rob Halladay) is the first single and offering we’ve heard from Richard’s debut studio album, A Tell-Tale Heart.

Honestly, it was a little weird to see a mention of a solo single from Dawn, considering that Dirty Money’s Last Train To Paris album hasn’t even dropped yet.

    Not… She needs to go away

  2. thrasher

    Dawn, I f**ks wit her! She’s ambitious as hell! I do like da combo wit Trina but da music was flat. I wasn’t feelin it. Think the Ciroc commercials in every song is killing it. OVA kill! If it’s good… peeps WILL buy it!

  3. NOPE

    Dawn doesnt have the “IT” power to be a solo artist. She didnt even stand out in Danity kane, OR Dirty Money.. She is a better background girl..

    “Play your part, Play your part”

  4. lola

    nothing special
    same generic melodies and lyrics

  5. Wahoo

    This sound better then all that other whack music playing on the radio and even though I like it I think the next Dawn single need to showcase her singing ability.

    HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!! MY GIRL DAWN IS DOING THE DAMN THING!
    I LOVE HER!

  7. desi

    BTW SHE AIN’T NO DAMN BACKGROUND SINGER GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!

  8. solid

    IT’s HOT! i love the song. i am so glad she has finally come out with something..she was my favorite from danity kane

  9. She tried it

    Dawn doesnt have the “IT” power to be a solo artist. She didnt even stand out in Danity kane, OR Dirty Money.. She is a better background girl..

    “Play your part, Play your part”

    HONNNNEY!!!! Dawn & Aubrey were the only two people I saw in that group the rest were never present Dawn for the voice & dance and Aubrey for her triffling ways. Plus hatred brings out the best in rivals and Dawn jocking Aubrey for the spotlight and Diddys attention brought out the best in her.

    Songs alright nothing new and far from the “new” shit she was tryna do with Diddy which is definately a good thing NO ONE AINT CHECKIN FOR THAT DIRTY MONEY SHIT!!!

  10. Dante J

    its aight… thats it.

    she has the potential to bring out MUCH better music than this…
    (Falls away, If I Could…. etc)

    hopefully she will…

    im glad there are talks of her solo project. its about time!

  11. circ1984

    I didn’t like it….why can’t she stick w/ the sound that made danity kane successful? I think Dawn can make it as a solo artist she needs to stick to the formula that made DK hot

  12. PrettyFly

    She’s BEYOND dope. Ya’ll ain’t ready.

  13. sexxxii

    I hate when people put Trina on their track. SHE CANNOT RAP! SHE NOT ABOUT SHIT! Her rhymes be so wack. It definitely lowers the value of the song.

    And STFU about she don’t have it factor. Yall don’t know shit about an it factor. Not everybody come out the box being the it girl like Lady Gaga. Some people work they damn way up so STFU about an it factor cuz yall ain’t shit and don’t know shit.

  14. solid

    @circ1894 she doesn’t want to sound like danity kane…she wants to sound like dawn. DK is over…the group is done…the sound is done..let it go…she is doing what she likes and that part of her is over.

  15. DONUT

    So Rob sampled that loop thats in that timbo folder… HMMMM never thought to flip it! OK

  16. Okkk

    I think the song is aight…I got in a few head bobs while it played. I’m not in love with it, mostly because of Trina on it *blank stare*…oh, and the autotune. Dawn’s voice is awesome, I just wish she would showcase it more and let it blow. *shrugs* I do however, think its a great effort and definitely has club appeal. I love how diverse she is and am looking forward to more from her. But I will say this: this chick is grindin’…HARD!!!…and I can’t do anything but support and root for someone that is working this hard to fulfill her dreams. People that work as hard as this girl always succeed. You better werk girl!!!

  17. meme

    lol @ the comment that dawn didnt standout. Far as im concern that was Dawns group. Aubrey only got notice becuz she forced herself to the forefront of the group.

    Dawn as extreme talent. Singing, dancing and song writing talent. No other female out right now are strong in all 3 departments. Not even beyonce becuz she isnt a song writer.

  18. ll

    feeling snarly brian, much?

    you picked such a hard target lol

  19. ThaTruth

    Anything with “club”, “bottles”, “wasted” or “gettin money” gets an automatic : NOPE!

  20. MRS. SK8board P (ak & bk stan)

    they are both whack..

  21. solid

    I agree with NUMBER 16

  22. keep it 100

    DAWN IS VERY TALENTED. SHE CAN GO SOLO….BUT DEFINITELY LEAVE TRINA OFF! TRINA IS THE WACKEST FEMALE RAPPER OF ALL TIME!

  23. D

    Im glad Dawn is doing her own music outside of dirty money. She’s talented and she has a lot to offer to the music biz…the song is a hot track and to all the haters out there if Trey Songz was to release a song about bottles in the club yall ass would be all over that

  25. Ok Ok

    ITs spelled “Rob Holladay”

  26. Afton

    I think it’s hot! I was doubtful that the song would be hot with Trina on it. She doesn’t have good flow. Until now, all of the work I’ve heard from her has been choppy and increasingly intolerable. I was pleasantly surprised by the way she rides the beat on this track. Good job, Trina! Keep it up!

  27. EvryBodyLovesDJ

    This is more buzz single than first single….not a wise choice for her.

    I am curious so still some celebrities and rich people feel lonely.

    Autotune again? UGHHHHHH!

  30. Try Again...

    @SEXXXII: I’m not fan of Lady GaGa (I’m mad I gotta defend that bish) , but she had to work her way to the top too.

    This is whack. More music for the brain-washed sheep. That is all.

  31. sexxxii

    @Try Again

    Well if that’s the case, it proves my point even further. Not even Lady Gaga came out the box with the it factor. So they still need to have a seat thinking they know if Dawn have it or not. SMH STILL!

  32. GLORIA

    I don’t know what they’re trying to do. It seems a little shadu though. Kalena better start thinking about what she’s going to do with her future fast. Dirty.

  33. dippin dots

    NOT. too much going on.

  34. episodes

    i like trina in this but the rest is whack

  35. Sarah Vaughan

    i like it. its def radio music.

  36. truthfullyspeaking

    I can’t believe people are getting mad at others for “dissing” Dawn! A lot of y’all sound crazy as hell! To be honest, Dawn doesn’t have the “IT” factor. She definitely doesn’t have the beauty, style, sex appeal, and image to appeal to mainstream audiences or even the urban audience, and she doesn’t have the voice. Yes, she can sing, but she sounds too urban; like any ol ordinary black female singer. Not to mention she doesn’t have the right sound. This song is so generic, it’s all autotuned out and the lyrics suck and are cliche. Dawn is a great dancer and works very hard, but I really think that her “success” is only in being a background singer and songwriter. I wish her the best with whatever direction she’s taking because Diddy did the group wrong and only cares about Cassie, but I don’t see anything big happening for her.

    BTW Trina is the wackest rapper I have heard. She’s just nothing but a ghetto/hoodrat rapper who talks about nothing.

  37. YEA BRO!!!

    IT ALWAYS FUNNY TO ME THAT PEOPLE WHO AINT DOIN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THINK THEY QUALIFIED TO DICTATE WHO HAS “IT” OR NOT…. GET YO LAMEASSES OUT OF HERE…. DONT HAVE A CLUE ABOUT ARTIST DEVELOPMENT, MARKETING, AND PRODUCTION… DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT MOVES THE ARTIST IS MAKING BEYOND WHAT YOU SEE ON 106 N PARK AND ACTUALLY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY THEIR CAREER IS A WRAP… IF YOU DONT LIKE THE SONG COOL, IF YOU DONT LIKE SOMEONE (YOU DONT EVEN KNOW) (CHECK YOURSELF) BUT COOL… BUT STOP CASTING STONES WHEN YO ASS IS SITTIN IN THE BLEACHERS….LOL

  38. sexxxii

    @ 38

    Just SIT THE FUCK DOWN! All you do is run around here hating. You bring nothing to the table. Change your name to AHaterSpeaking because you almost never have anything positive to say. Do you work in the industry? Probably not because that would mean you have a life but all you seem to do is spend your days writing negative comments about everything. She defff has the voice. All she needs is the style. She can hire a stylist and get a good producer to produce her some fire ass tracks. All of that is possible. You act like she could never stand a chance.

  39. Ummm...no

    She looks like a boy in that picture

  40. Sensible One

    To the person who said that Kalenna needs to be working on something and assinuating that Dawn and Diddy are going to do Kalenna “dirty”, apparently you’re not aware that Kalenna has been a songwriter for years and is signed to a songwriting company. Kalenna has written songs for major artists and has done features for several artists. She is also working on solo projects. If you have paid attention to any Dirty Money interviews, Dawn, Kalenna and Diddy have all said that Dirty Money is a one-time thing. They only plan to release one album and then they are going to do solo projects.

    To the person who said Dawn lacks style, beauty, sex appeal and image to appeal to a mainstream audience, I totally disagree with you. Dawn is a very pretty woman. Based on comments I read in various places, Dawn has alot of appeal. Dawn has a loyal fanbase that is growing everyday. She is very talented and there are people who are actually waiting for her to release a solo album.

    As for this song, it’s not my favorite song by Dawn but I do like it. I’m expecting great things from Dawn’s future. I’m glad to call myself a fan :)

  41. Mr.Spec Tator

    WTF is up with all the electronic sounding ish??!!! As good as she sings, thats really like 100 steps backward! Dare to be different Dawn, atleast as little..no?..okay, i tired : /

  42. Try Again...

    I don’t give a damn about “IT factor” or whatever. You black assholes are missing the point, THIS SONG SUUUUCKS, and Trina (I hate to say) is a “ghetto hood-rat” rappin’ ’bout nothin’. CASE CLOSED.

  43. igotstyle

    Love the comment #43 (sensible one) :)

  44. gg boo

    never paid attention to her or danity kane, but from what i could hear she has a nice voice. i will be honest – the autotune turned me off so i didn’t make it through the song but i think i would like it if more of her voice could be heard. maybe the next song…

  45. She Who TellIs It Like It Is!

    I love Dawn! But I see right through this!

    You all do realize, Miss Aubrey O’Day is working on a solo project right? She has a reality show lined up and everything. This is only for Diddy to cash in and put Dawn up against Aubrey. Although, it’s not that much of a competition, Dawn takes Aubrey’s cake anyday. But it’s good enough publicity to sell some records.”Danity Kane Members Duke it Out”. “Team Dawn,vs. Team Aubrey”. And if that doesn’t work they’ll have to take Cassie’s Electro Love LP off the shelf… Which was supposed to be out two years ago…

  46. DANITYKANE4EVER

    Now, I love dawn ever since she was in danity kane, especially when she harmonized with aundrea (the short one that had the long hair), but with that being said, I think this could be a nice club hit, now, I think what she needs to do, is leave dirty money, go to another label and then make some hits, she got the talent, she just needs to get with the right ppl & LEAVE DIDDY!!!!

  47. forever24

    Boringgggggggg,stay with DIRTY smelly Sticky expired Money. Its going to take at least 5 years before diddy gives YOU a Solo album. And by then he will have new people in his new Group, STICKY MONEY. JUST LOOK AT CASSIE,HOW LONG HAS,years YEARS AND YEARS,NO album. That should be a sign and more of the other failed (actually,he cancel them,including Danity Kane,which you DAWN destroyed).

  48. DANNY

    NOP I STILL MISS DANITY KANE

  49. CeCe

    well am i the only one who heard the Drake sample? anywho i like dawn as a person she seems real sweet. the song doesnt “sound” like something she’d do but you gotta sell to the idiot teeny boppers. the song is ok its a “now” song which means just a thumping beat (which i like almost everyone else likes they bass) but no nothin in the way of lyrics its easy to chant to so she might just be ok as far as a club song. Get you a nice hook and a club song you just might make it tin the world. but since shes been in so many things reality shows 17 musical groups (j/k) it all seems as an act of desperation. but i hope she does find her niche in music somehow but diddy is like the kiss of death to a career.
