You've been warned. It's all true. Nothing has been changed to protect anyone. Brooklyn-based soul singer Kendra Morris' career has been anything but ordinary. She's been described as Dusty Springfield fronting Spoon—and while her musical history has gone in many directions, that's still not too far off. She's toured with soul legend Dennis Coffey as his lead vocalist, released music with revered magazine/label Wax Poetics, and collaborated with the likes of MF Doom, DJ Premier, Este Haim, and Czarface, among others.
Today she unveiled her fifth full-length album, I Am What I'm Waiting For, along with a DIY music video for the single, "Dominoes," which warns us right off the bat that "what you are about to witness is all based on true events." “Dominoes was written in a blur of pet peeve explosions I was in the midst of with my partner," Morris tells us. "When I decided to make a video for it I knew who the star needed to be: the culprit himself. I know I’m not innocent and do my share of annoying things too. We get through it because we can laugh about it—and get even from time to time.
“The video was shot at my house using my old Magnavox VHS camera and a couple of weird ideas that my friend Julia Haltigan and I came up with," she continues. "Talking food? No problem. Give us an idea and we’ll throw it against a wall and watch it drip.”
