'It was a choice and I needed to go where the best place was for me,' said Dawn. 'As an artist, you can't wait two years. People forget about you in three seconds, so you have to grind like no other to stay relevant. He was gracious enough to say, 'I'll let you do that.'
Labels don't do that. They'll shelve you. I was so thankful that he didn't do what everybody said he was gonna do.
He was like, 'You gave me six years, so here's your chance.' 'In an interview Richard said 'You're gonna hear R&B taken to a whole 'nother level.'

In an interview Richard spoke on her feelings about Armor On, saying 'We are pushing the limits. R&B is really linear and it's not a bad thing. I just think being with Danity Kane and being with Dirty Money, I've experienced so many things sonically and lyrically that I want ya'll to be moved. It's time for something a little bit more refreshing.

Armor On Dawn Richard Rardinfo
Dawn Richard was first discovered via Diddy's Making the Band 2 reality series, and then recruited for slickly packaged groups like Danity Kane and Diddy-Dirty Money. Few thought she was capable of an indie record like Armor On. What impresses isn't the mixed bag of songs like 'Bombs,' 'Change' and 'Scripture,' nor the vogue-ish electronic beats, but the album's rawness. Richard really sounds like she's rocking in a basement studio, and she exudes an incredible presence. And when it climaxes in the EDM rager 'Faith,' you can't help but think she has the makings of solo stardom.
