Andra Day Releases New Anthem Make Your Troubles 'Go Away'

Continuing the fight against COVID-19, GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer/songwriter, activist, and actress, Andra Day, unveils a timely and appropriate song from her catalog entitled "Make Your Troubles Go Away." Raising money for the people who need it most, Andra's inimitable voice emits hope as she pleads, "I wish I could take your pain." The soothing hook doubles as an affirmation with the words "make your troubles go away" ringing out as encouragement in these trying times. Andra Day will donate proceeds to GiveDirectly to benefit families affected by the global pandemic.

Andra recently launched her personal campaign for GiveDirectly, the #IGiveDirectly fund, to support vulnerable families.
