Soul artist Avery*Sunshine received an early Christmas gift. The Chester, Pa. native’s lead single “Call My Name” from her new album The Sunroom becomes her first number-one song on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart.
The passionate love song trumps “Stay With Me” by Sam Smith, which spent 11 weeks atop the chart.
The soulful musician calls the success of her single “so surreal” and shares how the song came to be. “There is something magical and spiritual that happens when my partner Dana [Johnson] and I work together,” she tells Billboard. “This song was derived from a very honest space. I believe that when you work from a place of truth, the music finds a way to connect. Most of our career, we have been told to be something other than who we are. This No. 1 shows us that trusting your own voice is the answer.”
Congratulations Avery*Sunshine!
