Mariah Dawne Ignites Passion and Purpose with New Single “Won’t Let Go” and Stage Debut in The Red Light
Rising R&B powerhouse Mariah Dawne is stepping into a defining moment in her career, delivering both sonic and theatrical impact with the release of her latest single, “Won’t Let Go,” and her upcoming stage debut in The Red Light.
Already making waves as a Billboard-charting artist, Mariah Dawne continues to elevate her artistry with a record that dives deep into the essence of intimacy, vulnerability, and emotional connection.
A SOUND ROOTED IN INTIMACY & AUTHENTICITY
“Won’t Let Go,” featuring The Colleagues, is more than just a song—it’s an experience. Written by Mariah Dawne and produced by Jamil Johnson with Phase Recording and Media, the track blends sensuality with emotional depth, creating a rich, immersive listening experience.
“Won’t Let Go was written from a place of pure adoration and submission… This piece perfectly captures intimacy in its rawest form,” Mariah shares.
Distributed globally via SRG-ILS/Virgin Music/UMG, the single is already gaining traction across streaming platforms, positioning Mariah as a voice unafraid to explore the layered dimensions of love—physical, emotional, and mental.
The accompanying visual pushes boundaries as well, offering a stripped, unfiltered look at human connection. Directed by Mariah Dawne alongside Josiah Sanchez, the video is currently in rotation on BET Soul and across BET Network properties.
