Andra Day - Tigress & Tweed [Angela Davis Tribute for Vanity Fair]

- Andra Day "slips into the shoes of legendary activist and abolitionist Angela Davis, portraying her in her 1972 interview from a California prison cell. The interview, captured in The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975, features Davis in an orange turtleneck, elegantly eviscerating questions from a Swedish journalist about the use of violence by members of the Black Panthers as a means of survival.
For Day, Davis is the kind of activist Holiday would have worked alongside had she lived long enough to see the rise of the Black Panthers. It’s the kind of work she would have supported through her artistry, Day says, likening her to actors like Harry Belafonte, who used their stardom to spotlight the civil rights movement. The “Tigress & Tweed” video includes a nod to Holiday, featuring a gardenia, the singer’s signature flower, on the table in the foreground.
“When they think of civil rights, when they think of the Black Liberation Army, when they think of the Panthers, I want [people] to think of Billie Holiday,” Day said. “Her spirit filled Angela Davis.”

she’s an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment.
She's no icon, nor legend, she is though, the moment. Icon's and legends come with purpose and particularly LONGEVITY. Angela Davis, Billie Holiday are Icons, legends. Andra has a long ways to go before she is an Icon or Legend...but if she keeps going at this rate, she can very well be in 30 years. She is an undesputable talent and played the hell out of that role, she just needs to keep up that longevity.
@@OctoberLibra1 i was just quoting this wendy williams meme 💀😅 ua-cam.com/video/O7nMPV9rqlg/v-deo.html
She played Billie Holiday and could probably play Eartha Kitt and Angela Davis as well.
She should play her in her biopic too!
She is

We are still here!! Pressing the Oppressor!! "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”

Very happy to hear that Andra Day is nominated for Best Actress in a leading role in Oscar 2021...!!
YES!
So happy to see her doing big things, Cheers To The Fall is one of my favourite albums of all time🖤
I loved her movie, I watched it like 10 times already. She looks like The Civil Rights' Activist Ms .Billie Holiday and she killed the role. I just want to met her 😘❤️
She is walking the tightrope between character acting and invoking the emotion in her own work and doing it flawlessly.
Saw this in a commercial, and I'm upset that I haven't found this song sooner.
This is so great!
best! 😭❤️💍
She needs to play her in a movie !! I need to see her in 10 more movies ASAP
We are really witnessing God & the ancestors transform Andra Day into a vessel right before our eyes.
I love and so proud of my people we have gone through so much and overcome 👏🏾✊🏾
It sounds like a musical threnopy, it vibrates inside you. Thank you Andra Day🙏
Wow! What a beautiful and talented young lady 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Andra Day have a long time to become a icon and a legend but you are right she is the moment she is this Generation’s blues musician
