GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING ARTIST ANDRA DAY BARES ALL ON NEW SINGLE “PROBABLY”
Multi-platinum chanteuse, Grammy® winner, and Academy Award nominee Andra Day gets brutally honest on new single “Probably” via Warner Records. This morning Zane Lowe exclusively premiered the single on Apple Music. “Probably” continues to build anticipation for her long-awaited third album Cassandra, which will arrive this spring.
From the start, Day’s instantly recognizable full-bodied delivery takes hold and never lets go. The dynamics of her voice mirror the song’s emotional ebb and flow brought to life by a powerhouse performance. Blurring the lines between R&B, blues, and pop, she continues to assert herself as a generational vocalist without comparison.
Surrounding the making of the “Probably” Day shares, “The inspiration for it came from the idea that there are three sides to every story: There are two people involved, if we’re looking at it that way. There’s this side, there’s this person’s side, and there’s the truth. I hate hearing women called crazy. Especially by their partners, especially by men on social media, no offense. I really wrote it with a relationship situation in mind—“I loved you, I supported you”—but I wanted it to be funny. I always want to talk about heavy things with a sense of humor. Truthfully, that’s a cultural thing. I really wanted it to be funny because, as Black people, we use humor to survive. I actually think there’s power in being able to turn your pain into humor like that. It helps us to cope and to move on.”
“Probably” lands in the wake of the recent standout “Where Do We Go.” Receiving unanimous acclaim from Pitchfork among others, Billboard hailed it among “R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week” and raved, “‘Where Do We Go’ is a rousing exercise in the pacing of show-stopping vocal performance.” Rated R&B championed the single as a “soul-stirring ballad,” and Vibe promised, “The dreamy love song makes you want to get lost in the arms of a lover.” SoulBounce put it best, “As she sings of the magnetic attraction they share, the listener can’t help but be pulled in as well.”
2024 promises to be another blockbuster year for Day with new music, new movies, and an upcoming appearance at Super Bowl LVIII, where she will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Fans can expect a full LP on the horizon as she turns her attention to her forthcoming album Cassandra, her most personal body of work to date.
