Lucky Daye Announces 'Candydrip (Deluxe)' Album

New Orleans-native & GRAMMY-award winning R&B powerhouse Lucky Daye announces the deluxe version of his critically acclaimed & GRAMMY-nominated sophomore album Candydrip, will be released December 9th via Keep Cool/RCA Records. To coincide with this announcement, Lucky also releases the music video from album standout "fin' Sound."

This announcement comes fresh off the heels of Daye's five nominations for the 65th annual GRAMMY Awards. Daye received nominations for Best R&B Album for Candydrip and Best R&B Performance for "Over," as well as co-writing on Beyoncé's RENAISSANCE for Album of the Year, Mary J. Blige's Good Morning Gorgeous (Deluxe) for Album of the Year, and Mary J. Blige's "Good Morning Gorgeous" for Best R&B Song, making him an 11x time GRAMMY nominee.

Candydrip was released earlier this year and debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums Chart and #10 on the Billboard Current R&B Albums Chart. Upon release the album received critical acclaim from the likes of NPR, Complex, Rolling Stone, Billboard and many more.

The album explores Daye's redefinition of modern R&B through an alluring sensory-driven world, shaped by the inspiration of Afrofuturism. The 17-track body of work is the taste of a new era for Lucky, one that celebrates his rise to stardom, while still bringing listeners on a ride they've never experienced before.

Candydrip continues the sensory experience that Lucky first introduced with Painted, only this time, it's taste over sight. Also along for the journey are collaborators and friends - rapper Smino, modern Chicago-drill zeitgeist Lil Durk, and synth-soul group Chiiild.

Candydrip features Daye's hit single "Over," which he performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Daye most recently wrapped on the European leg of his Candydrip tour, which hit North American cities this past spring.
