Lucky Daye (Keep Cool/RCA)
2/22/19

What It Is: Born and raised in New Orleans, Daye spent his formative years in a religious cult, of which his mother was a member. Barred from any and all “secular music,” he taught himself melodies by singing Bible verses and Dr. Seuss rhymes. Once his mom fled the cult, life quieted until Hurricane Katrina hit and literally washed life as he knew it away. The family fled to Tyler, Texas, but Daye aimed to launch a career in music, so he made his way to Atlanta, where he spent some time recording before seeking a brighter future and road tripping to L.A. Once there, he met D’Mile and crafted Painted, on which his story unfolds by way of smoky full-spectrum R&B. With this release, he enters the music world with a powerful debut, leaving his footprint and fortifying the groundwork to become R&B’s next rising star.
