Andra Day gained acting acclaim after her starring role in a 2021 Billie Holiday biopic, but the soulful singer nearly lost the strength of her powerful voice during the process.
Day injured her vocals after she smoked cigarettes as part of her role in Lee Daniels' film “The United States vs. Billie Holiday.” It took some time to recover after she experienced hemorrhaging in her vocal cords, but now the singer sounds as if she’s returning to form with her latest album “Cassandra,” which released earlier this month.
