Zella Day Sunday In Heaven Review

zella-day-cdZella Day is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter who started covering Dylan at nine years old; after cutting her teeth performing at her grandmother’s coffee house, Day recorded her first collection of songs at age thirteen. At age twenty, in 2015, she released her debut, Kicker, which won her accolades from critics, multiple television appearances, and sets at Coachella, Bonnaroo, and more. Day continued to grow her artistry and confidence and became a part of the creative cohorts also living in L.A. as she built relationships with Lana Del Rey, Weyes Blood, photographer/artist Neil Krug and more. This atmosphere allowed Day to bloom into her most musically authentic self, writing songs that showed growth and compassion beyond her years. An E.P. – Where Does the Devil Hide, produced by Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach – was released in 2020. Her music has millions and millions of streams, and she has released a duet with Weyes Blood called “Holocene.”
