Dawn Richard Performs 'Automatic' Acoustic [Video]

Since her departure from Bad Boy, Dawn Richard has been enjoying success as a solo artist. During her appearance on KIIS FM’s “New Music Show,” the former Dirty Money member spoke about topping the iTunes R&B Albums chart with her independently-released EP Armor On. Plus, she performed an acoustic version of her song “Automatic” for the first time.

“It’s the most beautiful feeling to see us go No. 1, to put out a record and do those things and it’s five people,” said Dawn. “Word of mouth is something that’s way more important. Whereas money buys you everything, in this situation, good relationships get you further than most.”

Dawn will go in front of the lens this weekend to shoot a video for “Faith” and “Wild N’ Young.”
