Infrared is a 2016 extended play by American singer Dawn Richard.

Reception

Kevin Lozano of Pitchfork Media rated this EP a 7.7 out of 10, concluding, "in the 14 minutes of Dawn’s brief blue period, she and Kingdom did what few can do—build a diorama for love’s life cycle, encompassing everything from death defying adoration and righteous anger to, best of all, forgiveness".[2] In Resident Advisor, Andrew Ryce wrote that this album is "naked both musically and lyrically" showing the strength of Richard as a musician who does not need "to embellish her songwriting with production wizardry and experimental beats".[3] TinyMixTapes's Birkut gave this work a 3.5 out of 5 for maintaining a "feeling of multifaceted and expressive response throughout".[4]
