Dawn Richard Fills New Orleans’ City Park With Dance and Music in ‘Mornin/Streetlight’ Video
Dawn Richard has released a new music video for her Second Line centerpiece, “Mornin/Streetlight.”
The video — which features Richard performing the track while moving through intricate choreography with a pair of backup dancers — was filmed at City Park in the musician’s hometown of New Orleans. Along with the “Mornin/Streetlight” video, Richard filmed the videos for two other Second Line tracks — “FiveOhFour (a lude)” and “Pilot (a lude)” — in City Park as well.
“A major theme of Second Line is my desire to show New Orleans in ways that aren’t necessarily seen,” Richard said of the new video in a statement. “I grew up going to City Park, right around the corner from my mom’s dance school; all of the school recital pictures feature the park in the background. I think City Park has this traditional beauty but also an alluring, haunting edge to it that makes it local. I wanted to marry the two with this visual, similar to fusing ‘Mornin’ with ‘Streetlights.’”
