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 (

Kendra is excited to&nbsp;release&nbsp;a&nbsp;new&nbsp;45, featuring a special a bonus track written and recorded during the "I Am What I'm Waiting For' sessions, as well as a&nbsp;new&nbsp;45-edit of her instant classic 'Birthday Song.'

The A-side 'Fine Right Here,' the bonus cut from Kendra Morris's brand&nbsp;new&nbsp;LP 'I Am What I'm Waiting For' (which has received incredible support from the likes of Rolling Stone France, KCRW, WNYC, Flood Magazine, and countless others), takes a look into the deeply introverted side of Kendra. "This song is about being ok just sitting inside and missing the party," Kendra explains. "It’s the antithesis to FOMO." Written to accompany a rainy day, the song feels like you're being enveloped in a hug. Sonically, the track tips its hat to Ethiopian Jazz and soul of the 70s, like Rose Royce and the Delfonics. The warm vibraphone, sturdy bass line, and vocal reverb create a layered tapestry of sound that wraps around your shoulders and drifts into your ears.

The&nbsp;new&nbsp;45-edit of 'Birthday Song' is for the DJs. It's an upbeat and funky jubilant jam that's ready and waiting to take the place of outdated standards.

Both tracks were co-written and produced by Torbitt Schwartz (AKA Little Shalimar) of Run the Jewels, 'Fine Right Here' is a welcome departure to the upbeat nature of 'I Am What I'm Waiting For' whereas 'Birthday Song' is set to be a celebratory go-to.&nbsp;
