Dawn is the first solo album by the American singer-songwriter Dawn Robinson. It was released on January 29, 2002, by Atlantic Records and "LeftSide Entertainment". The album was released 6 years after her departure from En Vogue and roughly a year after leaving Lucy Pearl. Dawn includes the single "Envious".

Background

Following her departure from En Vogue in 1997, Robinson began work on her solo career, appearing as a featured vocalist on The Firm's hit single "Firm Biz" that year. In 1999, she joined the group Lucy Pearl and recorded an album with them.

In 2001, she signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records and started work on her debut solo album. However, she would leave the label before completing it. Soon after, she signed with Atlantic Records and started work on her album now titled Dawn. She contributed to the FB Entertainment compilation with the song "Set It Off" which received positive notices. It would later be included on her album. Eventually, seven songs she wrote/co-wrote made it to the album. Featured producers/songwriters on the album would include Travon Potts, Ivan Barrios, Carvin Haggins, Pajam, Kenni Ski, Christopher Warrior.

The set's first single "Envious" was released to radio on September 18, 2001,[1] with a music video premiering on BET. It received moderate airplay and peaked at #99 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles, #42 on Hot Singles Sales, and #41 on R&B Hip-Hop Singles Sales.[2]

The album was released on January 29, 2002 to positive reviews and would peak at #22 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.[3]

It was the third album released by a member of En Vogue after Terry Ellis and Rhona Bennett.
