Andra Day Reveals Amazon Music Live City Sessions EP

Andra Day has shared her Amazon Music Live City Sessions concert, which is now available only on Amazon Music. 

At the top of the summer, she delivered this powerhouse performance as part of Amazon Music’s “Forever The Influence” in celebration of Black Music Month. Broadcast from the heart of Los Angeles on June 7, her set streamed live on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and Prime Video. Now, audiences worldwide can experience her four-song set in all of its glory. Backed by her band, Andra transfixed and uplifted the audience by serving up three anthems from her latest album, CASSANDRA (cherith), namely “Maybe Next Time,” “Probably,” and “Chasing.” Plus, she closed out the show with a striking and soulful rendition of “Draw Me Close/Thy Will Be Done,” originally made famous by Marvin Winans. 

Remaining prolific, she just unveiled a soulful cover of the classic hymn “I Know Who Holds Tomorrow,” which coincided with her starring role in the highly anticipated Netflix film The Deliverance, directed by the visionary two-time Academy® Award nominee Lee Daniels. She received widespread acclaim for both her role and “I Know Who Holds Tomorrow.” Rolling Stone hailed her “dynamic performance.” The Hollywood Reporter sat down with her for an extensive interview, while People also spoke to her in-depth.

Recently, Andra recently electrified the stage at the Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa Valley, CA, performing her chart-topping hits. And tonight, she will headline the El Rey Theatre.

Earlier this year, Andra released her critically acclaimed album CASSANDRA (cherith), a project that redefines modern R&B with its deep emotional resonance and masterful artistry. Written and produced by Andra, the album has been hailed as a “modern R&B masterpiece” by Variety, who praised its seamless blend of hip-hop, R&B, and jazz influences. It’s a bold evolution from her debut, showcasing her as one of the most compelling artists of our time. Listen to CASSANDRA (cherith) HERE.
