We’re here for Essence Magazine putting some fresh new faces on their covers. The June issue will feature Grammy nominated singer, Andra Day.

Inside the mag, the 31-year-old clarifies the meaning behind her successful debut album, “Cheers To The Fall”.

“A lot of people think that Cheers to the Fall is about making a toast to the autumn season,” she said. “But the title itself means ‘Cheers to the possibility of criticism and cheers to the possibility of failure.’ I’m basically saying that I’m going for it without allowing fear to keep me from being who I’m really supposed to be.” 

We can’t wait to read the issue when it hits newsstands on May 13th. Andra will also be performing during this year’s Essence Music Festival in New Orleans!

Beauties, let us know your favorite Andra Day song.
