“If ‘Candy Drip’ is any indication, Daye is set on further carving out his own space in the R&B genre.” 

– Rolling Stone

 

“…an R&B hybrid that is as traditional as it is uniquely his own.”

 The New Yorker


“…Far ahead of his competition in the genre. Daye’s forlorn vocal manipulation has drawn comparison to Frank Ocean, but his versatility and strategic fusions of funk and jazz nod to how he might set himself apart…”

– NPR

[New York, NY – February 18, 2022] – Today, New Orleans-native, R&B powerhouse Lucky Daye debuts his new single “NWA” ft. OTF Chicago rapper Lil Durk. To coincide with this, he also announces the release date for his highly anticipated upcoming album, Candydrip – out March 10th via Keep Cool/RCA Records.

Produced by longtime collaborator D’Mile, “NWA” ft. Lil Durk blends Daye’s smooth vocals over a trap infused, bossa nova-esque synth beat. The track follows the release of previous singles “Candy Drip” and “Over,” both met with critical acclaim upon release. Daye delivered an electrifying performance of “Over” on the BET Soul Train Awards last fall where he was also nominated for Best Male R&B Artist. Watch HERE.

Daye is currently nominated for two 2022 GRAMMYs in the Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best Progressive R&B Album categories for his EP Table For Two released last Valentine’s Day (Feb 2021). The project features some of the industry’s most accomplished female artists, including a collaboration with recent-breakout star Yebba entitled “How Much Can A Heart Take.” The two delivered an emotionally-charged performance of the single on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

ABOUT LUCKY DAYE

Lucky Daye discovered his love of music and natural gift for singing and songwriting early in life in his hometown of New Orleans. Displaced by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Lucky moved to Atlanta for a brief stint and eventually ventured to Los Angeles to pursue his music dreams. After meeting producer D’Mile and working with him on his debut album Painted, Lucky fully realized his voice and potential. His undeniable talent as a vocalist took shape and landed at him at his label home, Keep Cool, in partnership with RCA Records.

In late 2018, he released the explosive hit “Roll Some Mo”, and in 2019 he was nominated for four Grammy’s, including Best R&B Album and Best R&B Song.

After releasing his EP “Table For Two,” featuring duets with the likes of Yebba, Ari Lennox, and Mahalia, Lucky Daye is gearing for the release of his sophomore album, Candydrip.
