Desirée Dawson's catalog begins in 2015 with "All In My Head" and "Fallen," releases that sit among dance and deep-house compilations. Through 2016 she appears on guest-vocal credits ("Storm," "Fallen") alongside a run of club-facing compilations. In 2017 "Wild Heart" arrives in a wave of remixes, and by 2018 her own songwriting takes the foreground with Sunflower Soul and Major 7th Medicine. The years 2019 and 2020 bring We Got This, Red Gold Green and the Blue Light Sessions live recordings. In 2021 Meet You At The Light earns a JUNO nomination for album of the year, and Full Spectrum (Deluxe) follows. Love-Notes arrives in 2023, then "Cup Of Tea" and "I Am Blessed" in 2024, the songs that found wide audiences. In 2025 the catalog reaches "Chop Some Wood," "the fall" and a demo of "hanging on." Her bio describes a powerful yet soothing voice, a baritone ukulele and body percussion, and songs about tending the spaces within us that have been silenced into isolation. This guide takes each release in the catalog's order, newest first. Where the facts are thin, the sections are short.
