2016 holiday EP. With a style from decades before her time and a voice for the ages Andra Day creates what she calls retro-pop-soul music. It s a blend of jazz soul doo-wop plus a little bit of rock and a little bit of hip-hop as the underbelly she says. As comfortable as she is with contemporary R&B it is the emotions and voices of Billie Holiday Nina Simone Amy Winehouse Adele Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu that call to Andra the loudest.
