American soul singer-songwriter Kendra Morris, born on April 10, 1981, is based in New York City. With a taste developed through a library heavy on late-60s and early-70s soul and funk, as well as a love for the cinema scores of the same period, Morris has carved out her own unique sound.
After touring with Motown Funk Brother Dennis Coffey and releasing a series of singles with collaborator and bandmate Jeremy Page, including "Concrete Waves" with the b-side remix by DJ Premier, Morris gained recognition. She released the albums Banshee and Mockingbird on Wax Poetics records. These albums received critical acclaim and garnered a cult following.
Not only did Banshee and Mockingbird receive praise from fans and critics alike, but they also found success in film + TV placements. The title track "Banshee" was prominently featured in the Showtime hit series Ray Donovan. Additionally, her cover of Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was included in the trailer for the major motion picture Dead Man Down starring Noomi Rapace and Colin Farrell.
In addition to her musical achievements, Kendra Morris was awarded the Songwriters Hall Of Fame 'Holly Prize'. She has collaborated with various artists throughout her career. Notably, she worked on a side project band with Scarlett Johansson, Julia Haltigan, Holly Miranda, Este Haim (

This is the first ever reissue of Babble since Kendra put it out herself in 2016! Features 3 bonus tracks. Brand new artwork, inspired by the original collages. Follows the release of her Karma Chief debut Nine Lives.

Kendra has collaborated with MF Doom, Czarface, Ghostface Killah, Dennis Coffey, and more. The word Babble brings two things to mind: A person pouring out their thoughts with reckless abandon, or a gentle sound coming from water cascading over rocks as it flows past. In the case of this reissue from Kendra Morris, Babble is a sublime melding of these two meanings. The original release in 2016 came in the form of a self-released EP. 

A fan cult favourite; it has now grown to include three additional tracks: Playing Games, Dial Back and Ride On. The journey through human emotion is accomplished through Kendra's songs, bringing us, the listeners, into her enchanted world of pain and strength, feeling renewed on the other side. The ability to take trepidation, desire, and insecurities and turn them into comfort and make you want to get up and move with them is a selfless gift she grants to us. 

With the support of Karma Chief Records (A division of Colemine Records), Babble is getting the official release it deserves.
