"The New Orleans singer-songwriter’s evolution from expressly commercial pop to avant-garde experimentalism is beginning to parallel Scott Walker’s in its unexpected audacity" - Stereogum reviews the collaborative album'Pigments' by Dawn Richard who wrote the lyrics for it, and Spencer Zahn, who wrote music "at the intersection of ECM jazz, ambient, and neoclassical composition". Clash Music hears "a truly refreshing body of work, a seamless experience", whereas Flood Magazine calls it "a rousing, experimental triumph".

"‘If I Could Make It Go Quiet’ has all the qualities of a blockbuster pop record - incessant hooks, A-list producer credits" - DIY Magazine writes about the pop-rock debut album by the Norwegian singer. Dawn Richard comes from the opposite side of pop music's spectrum, with critics really appreciating her R'n'B/house: "The beats are decadent, but so too are the liberties she takes as an independent artist beholden to nothing but her own satisfaction" - Pitchfork.
