Andra Day is a new R&B artists who got her start after being noticed by Stevie Wonders second wife, Kai Millard Morris. She is now signed to Warner Bros Records. Her first album was released in 2015 titled “Cheers to the Fall”. Lately Audra has been receiving a lot of attention. Many compare her to other female artists such as Adele, Erykah Badu, and Amy Winehouse. Andra has a very noticeable voice, and her style can be described as a mixture of Jazz, Soul, and R&B. Andra’s album was nominated for Best R&B Album and the album’s main single, “Rise Up”, was nominated for Best R&B Performance at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
I first noticed Audra Day when I heard her single “Rise Up”. I was immediately captivated by her voice, which is definitely unlike most voices you hear on the radio. I especially loved the lyrics of the song. I thought it was very inspirational. What I love most about an artist is when they can write music that can be enjoyed by anyone. When I first heard Andra, I was listening to one of my favorite radio stations Star 99.1, which is a contemporary Christian music radio station. Since then I have heard her music on other popular stations, but I love the fact that her music can be played on various stations to reach people which different music preferences.
