GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNER ANDRA DAY GETS REAL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS ON NEW SINGLE "CHASING"
ANTICIPATED ALBUM CASSANDRA (cherith) ARRIVES MAY 10
Today, multi-platinum vocalist, Grammy® winner, Golden Globe Winner, and Academy Award nominee Andra Day releases the deliriously honest new single "Chasing." Stripped down and saucy, it’s a sweet and serendipitous song contemplating true love. Following on the heels of her latest radio hit, "Probably," the stage is now set for the release of her highly anticipated third album, CASSANDRA (cherith).
"Somewhere chasing bags and chasing love," Day croons over mellow guitar plucking. "Both of 'em chasing us — do things, we can't seem to get enough." Threaded throughout the stunning vocal showcase is a sweet sense of longing and a respectful awe for the complexities of love. It's also laden with hooks and quotable lyrics. By the time the chorus unfolds again, it's nearly impossible not to sing along.
"Chasing" is the third single off of Andra Day's highly anticipated CASSANDRA (cherith), following the sultry number "Where Do We Go" and recently released "Probably." These singles represent the first new music from the songstress since the soundtrack to The United States vs. Billie Holiday in 2021. But that doesn't mean Day has ever ventured all that far from music.
In February, Andra delivered a stunning rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" at Super Bowl LVIII. Last month, she performed “Memory Lane” in tribute at the NAACP Awards. On June 1st, she’ll headline the Blue Note Jazz Festival in New York. Now, with songs like "Chasing," Day has a whole new arsenal of soulful anthems to add to her already-stacked setlist.
