Andra Day, the multi-talented singer and actress renowned for her captivating performances, is making waves once again with her powerful rendition of the classic hymn "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow." This soulful cover is featured in her starring role in *The Deliverance*, the latest film by acclaimed director Lee Daniels, now available in select theaters and streaming globally on Netflix.
In *The Deliverance*, Day takes on the role of Ebony, a struggling single mother who embarks on a harrowing journey as she battles personal demons and supernatural forces threatening her family. The film, inspired by a true story, explores themes of darkness, possession, and faith, with Day’s poignant cover of "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow" amplifying the emotional weight of the narrative. The hymn, originally penned by Ira Stanphill in 1950, receives a fresh, soul-stirring treatment from Day, blending timeless faith with contemporary soul. Her rendition, set against delicate piano chords, delivers a raw yet graceful power, perfectly capturing the essence of the film's themes.
Day's collaboration with Lee Daniels in *The Deliverance* follows their successful partnership in *The United States vs. Billie Holiday* (2021), where Day's portrayal of the legendary jazz singer earned her an Academy Award nomination, a Golden Globe, and a GRAMMY for the film's soundtrack. This new project promises to be another milestone in her already impressive career.
Fans of Andra Day can catch her live tonight at the Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa Valley, CA, where she will perform new music alongside her chart-topping hits. For those in Los Angeles, she will also headline at the El Rey Theatre on September 19.
Earlier this year, Day released her critically acclaimed album *CASSANDRA (cherith)*, a modern R&B masterpiece that has been lauded for its emotional depth and seamless blend of hip-hop, R&B, and jazz influences. The album, which showcases Day's evolution as an artist, has received praise from Variety and further solidified her status as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary music.
