DAWN RICHARD PREVIEWS CHRISTMAS SONG “DECEMBER SKY”

Dawn Richard has given her fans free music throughout the year with her mixtape “A Tell Tale Heart” and records like “SMFU (Save Me From U),” and now the Dirty Money singer gets in the Christmas spirit with her first solo iTunes release “December Sky.”

Produced by Drew, the holiday single will be available for download at the digital retailer on December 1. She previewed the song exclusively for her Hearts on Rap-Up TV.

“I’m not really going to be able to see my love during Christmas and I think a lot of people can relate to that,” explained the New Orleans native, who is prepping her solo debut GoldenHeart. “I wanted to do something that was real with that. So we came up with an idea: why is it always about material [things] when we share the same sky? When we look outside and we see the moon and stars, that’s a gift for us.”

Though it may be a while until we hear from Adele, who is currently recovering from her vocal cord surgery, fans will still get a chance to check out the British singer live… from the comforts of their coach.

Next week, on November 29th, Adele will release “Live at the Royal Albert Hall,” a concert DVD and live album recorded at the historic London venue earlier this year. The film will contain the entire 90-minute concert performance, as well as additional behind-the-scenes footage filmed throughout the day of the concert.
