New Music: Dawn Richard - December Sky

Now this is a Christmas song I can rock to.  Just in time for the Holidays, Dirty Money diva Dawn Richard dropped off her original track "December Sky," a preview of what's to come on her debut solo album GoldenHeart.  Dawn was inspired to write the song because:

"A lot of people won’t be able to see their loved ones this Christmas,” explains Dawn, who is readying her debut album GoldenHeart. “Whether they are serving in Iraq/Iran, in the industry, or working a 9 to 5, the truth is a lot of us aren’t able to make it home for the holidays. So this record is for them and anyone else missing their love—the sky and stars are a gift for us both because no matter how far apart we are, we are under the same sky.”
