You might have seen her portrayal of Billie Holiday in Lee Daniels' biopic The United States vs. Billie Holiday. If you haven't, run don't walk to find that film and watch it. Go ahead, we'll wait.
In 2015, she released her debut album, Cheers to the Fall. According to Wikipedia, Day explained that the song was written after one of her close friend had been diagnosed with cancer. She described it as a "a sort of prayer."
It's a powerhouse of a performance, and a knockout punch of a song, and just the right thing we need to get our spirits lifted during these trying times.
There is hope out there, friends, I promise.
How do I know? Because people like Andra Day exist. And they create. And they perform. And they lift us up.
