Today, multi-platinum powerhouse vocalist, Grammy® winner, Golden Globe Winner, and Academy Award nominee Andra Day releases her highly anticipated new album CASSANDRA (cherith). Penned and produced by Andra herself, the album resonates with profoundly emotional lyrics, unwavering honesty, spiritual nourishment, and the artist’s distinctive vocal prowess. CASSANDRA (cherith) stands as a modern R&B masterpiece.
Andra Day shares: “CASSANDRA (cherith) is a journey through my soul, from a state of being already full rather than from a place of lack. It's an intimate reflection of my personal experiences and growth, presented through the language of music.”
She captivated audiences with two unforgettable vocal performances on NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
From the infectious anthem “Probably,” a Top 20 hit at radio rapidly ascending the charts, to the atmospheric groove of “Nervous,” CASSANDRA (cherith)—named after Andra's birth name and a biblical allusion meaning ‘to cut away’—embodies her most intimate work to date, showcasing Day's remarkable versatility. This eclectic collection features luminous moments of R&B brilliance, such as standout “Heavy On My Mind” featuring rap wordsmith Wale, the soul-stirring ballad “Bottom of the Bottle,” and “Still,” a poignant testament to her resilience and emotional depth. The album's sonic diversity is encapsulated in the latest single, “Chasing,” a tender contemplation on ambition and longing.
Other standout tracks include the jazz-infused, Latin-inspired “Narcos,” the soulful lament “In the Meantime,” the impassioned anthem “Where Do We Go From Here,” and the spirited, empowering “Champagne Flutes.”
CASSANDRA (cherith) marks Andra Day's first original music since the soundtrack of The United States vs. Billie Holiday in 2021, a testament to her unwavering creative spirit. Amidst crafting new music with her band, Day has also ventured into acting, with two forthcoming films slated for release later this year. Earlier in the year, Andra brought much-needed levity to The Golden Globes, delivered a stirring rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" at Super Bowl LVIII, and offered a heavenly tribute at the NAACP Awards.
On Monday, she put the full breadth of her artistry on display for a sold-out “One Night Only” show that celebrity guests Glenn Close, Rapsody, Suzan-Lori Parks, and Trevor Jackson attended. With the release of CASSANDRA (cherith), Andra Day embarks on an exhilarating new chapter, leaving an indelible mark on R&B, note by soaring note.
