With Redemption, D∆WN Takes R&B and EDM To The Next Level / by Vance Brinkley

The next time you go to a dance party, you might hear D∆WN getting played. Her music will have you jamming to synthy beats and illustrious vocal game.

Her previous projects showed proof of the singer experimenting with her voice and production as she shifted to an electronic dance vibe. However, Redemption pushes things to the next level with a genre-bending sound that could keep both lovers of EDM and R&B fans interested.
