KUTX Presents Andra Day
The conviction of Joplin, the presence of Simone, and the fire of Winehouse, rising artist Andra Day is taking the nation by storm.
Nominated for not one, but two Grammy Awards (Best R&B Performance, Best R&B Album), Day has worked alongside producers like Adrian Gurvitz and Raphael Saadiq and collaborated with artists such as Questlove, James Poyser of The Roots, DJ Jazzy Jeffand, and The Dap-Kings of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. Her booming vocals and soulful style meets smooth sultry jazz in a sweet 13-track debut album Cheers to the Fall. The album is a testament to embracing failure and a rejecting of a life ruled by fear.
Day's quick rise to fame is a direct product of her unforgettable live performances. After a video of her performing outside a strip mall surfaced on KZhead, Stevie Wonder's ex wife, fashion designer Kai Millard Morris, connected the two musicians. Shortly after, Spike Lee saw Day perform at Sundance Film Festival and offered to direct the video for the first single from the album, "Forever Mine." Talent recognizes talent. Her latest single "Rise Up," resonated with director M. Night Shyamalan, and they quickly collaborated on her newest music video.
In the aftermath of June 12th's Orlando shooting, Day dedicated her ACL Live taping last weekend to the victims and families affected. The next afternoon, our Studio1A audience members sat mouths agape and teary eyed in awe of Day's talent and grace.

I play this song every day. It reminds me of my husband and I. I have been very sick on and off since 2008. I lost my leg in 2020. I was in the hospital for almost a year. My husband has stayed at my side throughout everything. We are married 23 years. He is always here for me. I will rise up💕
Healing love for you, your husband and all. I’m so happy for you that you have a wonderful husband you appreciate. I trust you appreciate yourself too xx
✌️✌️✌️
God keep blessing your lives. This is true love. Hope you well right now. My affection to you both. Love is life. XOXO from Brazil! ❤👑🙏🏾🇧🇷
God bless you and your husband. I found out this past October that I have breast cancer. I love this song and just decided this is my Banner Song for 2023! ❤️🙏🏾
I just want to say I think you are the most beautiful person I've ever seen in my life
Why is no one talking about the pianist 😳 the soul and emotion that went into that music that is accompanying her voice is absolutely amazing

So sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my mom and dad to cancer. It is so mean. Stay strong. God bless you.
So sorry may your mom be in the heavenly fathers arm.
This song is for everyone. Whatever you face in life, in sickness, despair, feel unloved, feel like everyone is against you, or feel let down. Surrender yourself to Jesus Christ, He will give you rest. Just rise up and carry on. Life is not easy. Rise up to Jesus Christ our Savior.
I felt that! I mean, really, really felt that!
If this doesn’t touch your soul you don’t have one.

The combination of the pianist and Andra Day, moves to the core of my emotions. This song is my go to and it lives in my head, but this is the first time, I didn't just shed tears, but cried. The depth of feeling in vocal and instrument were beyond heart felt. It was anointed. What a blessed gift to share IN it.
U could press those keys better than that guy lol…look at him, he is barely moving his hands. Its not different as it progresses. She makes it good, but the man presses the same chord over and over and yal think its amazing lol
Her voice is so soothing and this is the perfect song to tell how I feel as I struggle with health issues God bless her and everyone who listens to this song 🎵 ❤
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💪💪
May God keep u strong and heal you.
Try to listen to Morrisette Amon version you’ll love it! 🙂 highly recommended
I just 'discovered' Andra Day today. What a Day it turned out to be!
I’ve just been diagnosed with cancer. This song is a reminder to me💪🏽💗
Cheryl, YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH! I send you a big hug, dont stop fighting. Life is beautiful
May the almighty heal you .
The way she shows her emotions with her singing... OMG... her voice has words and her words have meanings! Thank you from Japan.
❤
Dear God, the voice of an angel, bless you dear!
I feel better knowing im not crying alone. I lost my brother in March but I played this song before he passed trying to be so strong for him and myself. It was the hardest 💔

This song is so instrumental to me. I listen to it everyday
I've just arrived home from the funeral of my friend's 2-year-old, and they had a gospel choir sing this as the tiny coffin was brought into the church. The entire church burst into sobs in unison. It was absolutely heart breaking, but thank you for creating this beautiful piece of music - it feels weirdly comforting to listen to it again and reflect on how precious life is.
😢❤
I love her vocals..... Top notch!!!
I lost my husband to cancer. Your song brightened my day. We will rise... Thank you

Beautiful. I’m in a wheelchair & this song & the inspirational video reminds me of what my husband goes through as a caregiver. My mother just died a couple of weeks ago & I took care of her for many many years & so I have also been the caregiver. It is hard but we do what we have to do for those we love in spite of the ache! I love this song. It has so much meaning to me on so many levels
