Kendra MorrisSong number three on a trip down my street with a spin, a roll and a skip. Stream the latest song 'If I Called You ': colemine.lnk.to/kcr12044 Video by Kendra Morris
A true unapologetic pop song, Kendra Morris' newest track 'If I Called You' started as a simple stripped-down version she had raised from a demo graveyard. When she brought it into the album recording session with her band ( Supremo Massiv on guitar, Monti Miramonti on bass, and Chauncey Yearwood on drums) and co-producer Leroi Conroy, it became clear every that the Prince-esque demo needed to be sped up.... a lot. After that 'Ah-ha!' moment, the band reworked the tune into the irresistible slinky, uptempo track that it is today. Legendary guitarist Jimmy James (Parlor Greens) then provided a shredding solo that channels some Paisley Park magic. The vintage recording gear, housed in Conroy's home studio 'Portage Lounge' in Loveland, Ohio, is the sonic cherry on top, creating a warmth and nostalgia you can happily settle into. The tracks simple instrumentation (3 main chords) and its easy breezy melody weave around the lyrics that describe the universal fantasy of having a crush. "I am the ultimate day dreamer," Kendra explains, "Whenever I’ve had a crush on someone, I welcomed the emotions that go with it. To create a world in my head of all the possibilities with a person that doesn’t even know who I am...it can be the most fun." The whole song, sonically and lyrically, boils down to that one repeating line: "Would you be mine if I called you all the time?" Kendra hints that a slowed down version is floating around somewhere out there... maybe you'll hear it one day, too... *wink

LYRICS When the wind knocks on the pane and the breeze comes to tap, someone told me I could be a little more fast. When it’s cold outside and it’s tryin’ to get in, it’s so hard to know where it all begins. The books that I read and the pictures that I see from under the covers. Never really know what I’d say if I met you, I’d just pretend that we’d be lovers.
Would you be mine if I called you all the time? Would you be mine if I called you all the time? Would you be mine if I called you all the time? Would you be mine?
When the sunlight hits the corner of a room just right, dust has a glow as it floats by the window and everything is alright. And the timing that I wait and all the seconds that got long just to pass you on the corner. Never really know what i’d say if I met you, I’d just pretend that we’d be lovers
And I never know what I'd like to say yeah and you’ve been in my mind sometimes. And I never know what i’d like to say, yeah cuz you’ve been in my mind sometimes.
Would you be mine if I called you all the time? Would you be mine if I called you all the time? Would you be mine if I called you all the time? Would you be mine if I called you all the time?
Have I called too many times, called too many times, called too many times? Have I called too many times, called too many times, called too many times,?
Would you be mine if I called you all the time? Would you be mine if I called you all the time? Would you be mine if I called you all the time? Would you be mine if I called you all the time?

‘Back With Me,' the focal track from Kendra's new board game LP 'Next,' is a classic 1960’s doo-wop inspired tune. It's a track about yearning for someone far away and counting the days until they’re back. "I love 50’s and 60’s doo-wop soul," says Kendra, "and I feel like this was the song that wound up inspiring the entire record." Kendra's powerhouse vocals are the focal point of the track, but the band's warm and nostalgic background harmonies echo her emotions imperfectly.
Leaving all the lights on at home. Leaving the keys by the phone. Unlock the top incase. A pen and a paper to write. Thinking of you far away every night and I’m counting the days. I’m waiting ‘til you’re
Back with me, back with me and it’s taking too long. Gotta get you back with me, back with me and it’s takin’ too long.
Well I’m biding my time with a watch on my wrist but the ticker don’t work and I'm startin’ to get pissed. My friends Tony, Jane and Brad are driving me up the wall. I’d rather stare out this window wondering when you’re gonna call.
I’m whinin’, dinin’ lately. Eatin’ just to pass today. I swear I’m the only person left to ever feel this way. With my hand on my forehead, got that fever again. I’m stuck here doin’ the math try’n to figure out when.

Something In Common,' off Kendra Morris's forthcoming board game concept album 'Next,' is the most introspective track. It was written by Morris one afternoon with just her guitar and a looped Wurlitzer sample playing the same chords on repeat. Kendra then layered her vocals to support the power within the lyrics. "It didn’t need anything else," she explains. When formally in the Portage Lounge studio in Loveland, Ohio, the full band got involved. Monti played the Wurlitzer stabs, with Premo performing the guitar parts on Terry’s (aka co-producer Leroi Conroy) classic Nylon string guitar. The looped drum machine sequence slowly intensifies like a heartbeat. Kendra's tender and haunting vocals sit on top with the guys singing her vocal arrangement in the background. And that is it.
"There are no winners or losers. In the end, we’re all the same:... "

LYRICS I am always thinking why when we die we’re just gone. Why do we live our lives til the day we die try’n to belong?
We all have something that we believe. Who is wrong? Now that we got something in common, who is wrong?
Lately I’m thrown from a roof. I'm hangin’ off a ledge and I don’t mind. Because it’s all blowin’ in the wind. Leaves off a tree. What is it?
We all have something that we believe. Who is wrong? Now that we've got something in common, who is wrong?
We all have something that we believe. Who is wrong? Now we got something. Who is wrong?The board is set, its your turn.

The newest track from Kendra Morris, coinciding with the announcement of her board-game-concept album 'Next,' is a pitstop on the game board. The track title "Flat Tire" accurately describes Kendra's creative process. The song expresses "me and my maniacal ideas just trying to make my way and a living in the world as an artist," Kendra shares, "as well as my stubbornness and refusal to conform, which can sometimes lead to the results not being quite what I want. Sometimes even a disaster or a deflation -- but never a failure. In the end I just have to laugh at myself and be glad that I even tried in the first place." The song sonically tips the hat to old reggae from the 60’s. "My parents used to go to Jamaica and bring records back from their trips," Kendra explains, "...so I found a love for reggae at a young age." The song started simply with a little backwards guitar strum; the melody quickly came to Kendra. Kendra and [Leroi] Conroy worked together to incorporate doowop and lofi reggae references via the background vocals. They carry the tune in a unique way. " I knew that the voices of the guys in my band were exactly what the song needed. I wanted something imperfect and raw and once they were incorporated the song really took shape." The cherry on top was then provided by Ray Jacildo (The Black Keys, Jr. Thomas & The Volcanos) on piano and organ, who keeps the tune moving right along. So even within the deflations, there's always better luck next time...right? What’s the point if you can’t have a good laugh looking back at it all. "Flat Tire" is Kendra having a little laugh at herself and then coming up with more ideas.

LYRICS I don’t know how it really happened I was just sitting alone in my backyard I found a rock, I kicked it over. In the past I’d run away. Feelin’ like a loser anytime I get caught bein' sneaky. I’m just curious I’ll say
But the date I had in my old backpack had a message from my mother on the other side she says that I’m a real work.. on myself today. Get some abs today. I’m rollin’ one for Benny but this penny gonna keep me funny. I’m just telling jokes to you, to get me through this satire flat tire. My big ideas, when they gonna win?
You’re a fool girl. Go back to school girl. (No I don’t wanna be that)
I used to bartend in New York City Those nights, I don’t remember but the money. Lately I’m staring at ants on a wall thinking could I just ride the wave? Or I’ll watch a movie, something kinda juicy. Check out check in I’m just tryna find a way.
But the date I had in my old backpack had a message from my brother on another side he says that I’m a real jerk’ -in my leg today. Call me ok. I’m rollin’ one for Benny when these pennies gonna add up for me. I’m just telling jokes to you, to get me through this satire flat tire. My big ideas, when they gonna win?
You’re a fool girl. Go back to school girl. (No I don’t wanna be that)Roll the dice.. come with me.. how far to go.. youll have to see!Kendra Morris2025-07-07 | ...If I Called You...

'Dear Buddy,' the newest track out from Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Kendra Morris, is a deeply moving love letter to her 10-year old. "It's a really personal song for me," Kendra shares, "and I think it will ring true to anyone looking out for someone younger than them."
The song was crafted at the Colemine Records studio in Loveland, Ohio and recorded and co-produced by Leroi Conroy. Utilizing a Tascam 388 and spring reverb on all vocals, 'Dear Buddy' washes warmly over the listener. Kendra's vocals were done in one single take, and the band (Premo Massiv on guitar, Monti Miramonti on bass, and Chauncey Yearwood on drums) provide nostalgic layered background vocal harmonies. Both the vibraphone and glockenspiel deliver counter melodies, creating a safe and comforting sonic plane. 'Dear Buddy' emits a sense of vulnerability from Kendra..."You can love so much it hurts," she says, " I wish that I could live all the rough patches that may come in life for my daughter, protect her from all the bumps & bruises. But, sometimes, the most important lessons are in those bumps, bruises... how can you appreciate winning if you don’t know how to lose? All I can do is walk along side, let go, and just be there." The pain leads to growth; letting go is the most selfless act of love...
'Dear Buddy' is the second stop along Kendra's adventure. We hope you'll keep playing along... ..
LYRICS I know when your head hits the pillow at night and the world that you met keeps spinning a web for all the questions that you have. When you love so much it gets hard. When you love so much it gets hard.
Do you know that I'd hold in my arms forever if I could? Even when you grow much taller than me with your legs dangling to the ground. When you love so much it gets hard. When you love so much it gets harder, harder..
I wish that I could be the roof to shield you from the rain But then you miss the way it cools you down again.
You can look at a tree and see colors in it that I never knew. The crack in the sidewalk that we pass by everyday will always remind me of you. Some things do stay the same. When you love so much it gets hard. When you love so much it gets harder.
I wish that I could be the shoes you wear to win a race but then you miss how good it can feel to lose with grace. And I wish I could be your wings but you would never learn to fly. So I'll let go.Take off. Come home again sometime.Go ahead 3 spaces…. to this WednesdayKendra Morris2025-04-21 | ...In My House ( In my building!) #clips #newmusicrelease #newmusicKendra Morris2025-03-27 | ...Blink and you’ll miss what’s IN MY HOUSEKendra Morris2025-03-18 | ...Kendra Morris - In My House [Official Video]Kendra Morris2025-03-12 | Stream the new tune 'In My House': colemine.lnk.to/kcr12044 Video by Kendra Morris
Brooklyn based singer-songwriter Kendra Morris returns with what's next...a new tune called 'In My House.' Recorded live in Loveland, Ohio and co-produced by Leroi Conroy and Kendra herself, the track is a sonic exploration of chaos and catharsis. "...It's an overlap of my messy little New York apartment and the clutter that’s constantly evolving in my own head,"
'In My House' marks the start of a new journey for Kendra. We hope you'll play along...
LYRICS In my house I got four rooms, a seat. Where my dogs lounge later than me. Where I find myself incessantly talking to no one here. It’s my thing.. When I’m fumbling for the keys. See it’s only the first week and my heat is a fortune I can’t afford. Somebody owes me but I am the lonely.
And I wanna be anything now that we gotta be playin’ around with the fires in the parking lot gotta hop tell someone not to drop telephone numbers outside. A Little lookey loo lonely sellin’ baloney, messin’ around with the sunshine again. If you happen to see if the meal is for free I’ll take two of your problems the rest is on fleek with a knife in your back. How’s your wife in the back? Got the lock in attack. In my house. Not in my house.
In my house it’s a mess and I can’t so much rest ‘til it’s cleaned up.
In my house, I leave the lighting on. You’ll hear me in the night on my kitchen stroll on a roll making the cravings I’m feeling a little bit less. It’s a lot to be stacking up all the pieces day by day, to be moving from room to room see.. Somebody owes me but I’m still the only.
Well it’s never enough of a time or a place to be making a move or you’re winning a race. It’s a boulder I’m pushing, not mountains, not valleys. My lows and my highs are a punch in my face. And I wanna be straightening up all of the lamp shades, the dust on the fans and the shit in the microwave. I never said I was perfect, not me but I’m holding the doors and I got the keys to my house. But I’m holding the doors and I got the keys to my house.
In my house it’s a mess and I can’t so much rest ‘til it’s cleaned up.
No more movin’ away I’ll be settin’ up in the home.. No more movin’ away i’ll be settin’ up in the house.. No more movin’ away I’ll be settin’ up in the rooms.. No more movin away i’ll be settin up in the home..
In my house it’s a mess and I can’t so much rest ‘til it’s cleaned up.Start here!Kendra Morris2025-03-10 | ...Pow Lofi FlipKendra Morris2024-10-11 | Alternate lofi flip clip of Pow from Banshee..

Lyrics:
Jumping jack til falling down. Kart wheels never touch the ground. Arms and legs their body good til it falls apart like were made of wood like were falling down.
Nothing ever happens when you ride the bus cuz were lookin’ out the windows wondrin’ what the fuss? Hens and hubbies with their eyes closed like they got nothin to believe even one last night and you’re praying real hard.
Hey na na pull the wool on. Hey, hey. Hey na na pull the wool on. Hey, hey. Hey na na pull the wool on like a sweater up over your face.
Hey na na who you foolin’ hey hey. Hey na na who you foolin’? I’m just playin’ a part. Playin’ a part. Playin’ playin’ playin’ a part.
Digital ambassador of wonder and cheer. Everyone claiming it was quite a year. Melting like the devil blew the candle on the cake and dripping down the sides from another earthquake. Keep prayin’ real hard.
Hey na na pull the wool on. Hey, hey. Hey na na pull the wool on. Hey, hey. Hey na na pull the wool on like a sweater up over your face.
Hey na na Who you foolin’ hey hey. Hey na na Who you foolin’? I’m just playin’ a part. Playin’ a part. Playin’ playin’ playin’ a part.
Why you fooling in your mind? Drink up time. Pay to be wise. How we living. Why we fooling? It’s how we’re living . Why we fooling?
Hey na na pull the wool on. Hey, hey. Hey na na pull the wool on. Hey, hey. Hey na na pull the wool on like a sweater up over your face.
Hey na na who you foolin’ hey hey. Hey na na who you foolin’? I’m just playin’ a part. Playin’ a part. Playin’ playin’ playin’ a part.Kendra Morris Foolin Around 7L Remix Lyric VideoKendra Morris2019-05-24 | Check out the original as well on all streaming and download platforms!Kendra Morris Summertime Official VideoKendra Morris2018-08-30 | Video created & directed by Kendra Morris Song produced by Jeremy Page Titles by Ryan WeibustPlaying Games TeaserKendra Morris2018-04-05 | Stop motion teaser for Kendra Morris' 2018 single Playing Games out April 6th 2018.
