Buzzing vocalist Andra Day has been taking the music world by storm this year, and now she wants to help us welcome in the holidays!
Following male R&B singers such as R. Kelly, and Kenny Lattimore–who have recently released their first ever holiday albums–Andra Day has debuted the new EP, Merry Christmas from Andra Day.
The five-track Christmas collection includes covers of classics such as “Someday At Christmas” (with Stevie Wonder), “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Winter Wonderland,” “Carol of the Bells,” and “The First Noel.”
“God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman” was recorded with country singer Jennifer Nettles as a duet for Nettles’ upcoming holiday album. Day will perform it with Nettles on the CMA Country Christmas Special at the Grand Ole Opry, which airs on November 28. Day will also perform “Someday at Christmas” on the show.
She is set to appear on several holiday TV specials in December, including being the headline musical performer on this year’s Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family Christmas Special,” which airs on November 17. She will also perform on Empire‘s “White Hot Holidays,” a music and variety special hosted by Taraji P. Henson and the cast of Empire that airs before the hit show’s season finale on FOX on December 7. And finally, Day will perform “Winter Wonderland” on the “America’s Got Talent Holiday Special,” which airs in December.
Stream the full EP via Spotify below. A physical CD version will be available in stores on November 18.
