ANDRA DAY UNVEILS TELLING DOCU-STYLE VIDEO FOR FRESH NEW SINGLE “PHONE DIES” PRODUCED BY ANDERSON .PAAK
Andra’s adventurous new track gives listeners a delightful ride around the African diaspora, mixing elements of jazz, samba, electro-soul, and even traditional call and response. It’s both a far cry from her turn as Billie Holiday, which she’s currently promoting, and the Andra Day people remember from her breakout 2015 song “Rise Up.” —Entertainment Weekly “Soulful, grooving track.”- Rolling Stone “Day returns with a bop for summertime loving.” – V Magazine
April 27, 2021 (Los Angeles, CA) – Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning singer/songwriter, activist, and actress AndraDay unveils a documentary-style video for new soul single, “Phone Dies” on WarnerRecords. Watch HERE. Paired with the slick electro-soul production of “PhoneDies” by .Paak, Andra’s vocals radiate a heart-melting warmth. “This must sound crazy, but be my baby,” she coos, letting a brassy fanfare carry her into the chorus. “It’s so amazing, being my baby. I’ll let you feel these vibes until my phone dies.” She can’t stay for too long—but she’ll make sure you have the time of your life. Before releasing “Phone Dies,” Andra made her feature-acting debut in Lee Daniels’ The United States vs. Billie Holiday. Her critically acclaimed performance as Holiday won the Golden Globe for “Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama” and received a coveted “Best Actress” nomination at the Oscars. For the soundtrack, Andra recorded soul-stirring covers of Holiday’s classics, like “Strange Fruit” and “Lady Sings the Blues,” and the Golden Globe-nominated original, “Tigress & Tweed,” a stormy, piano-driven ballad co-written with neo-soul pioneer Raphael Saadiq.
