Take Me As I Am is the long-awaited debut album from Detroit powerhouse vocal trio Dames Brown, out now on Defected Records. 

Deeply rooted in Detroit’s rich musical lineage, Dames Brown aka Athena Johnson, Teresa Marbury, and LaRae Starr embody the spirit of the Motor City, connecting the dots between the city’s gospel roots and dance music history.

The record acts as a tribute to their mentor and producer, the late Amp Fiddler, whose signature production style provides the perfect foundation for the group's gospel-infused harmonies to soar. 

The record lands a month after their debut Australian tour, including a euphoric performance at Meredith Music Festival. Take Me As I Am captures the energy of the Dames Brown live show, and provides a fitting tribute to both Amp Fiddler and Detroit's musical legacy.
