A darker succession to Dawn’s 2013 solo debut Goldenheart , Blackheart released on January 15, 2015 though her own Our Dawn Entertainment.

“‘Goldenheart’ put you on a battlefield in medieval times,” she told Billboard last year . “ ‘Blackheart’ will put you in a place where you’re stuck in a rainforest by yourself, and you realize that you have all this armor, but you have this blood on you as well.”

Supported by videos for “ Blow “ Tide: The Paradox Effect ,” “ Choices: The Interlude ,” “ Projection ,” and “ Calypso “ , the album peaked at #1 on US Top Independent Albums, #2 on US Dance/Electronic Albums, and #3 on US Top Heatseekers Albums charts.
