Now six months after the record's release, Karma Chief is thrilled you bring you a 45 featuring a fan-favorite tune from the record and a brand new dub remix. 'Flat Tire,' the album's announcement track, tips it's hat to old reggae from the 60's. Inspired by the records Kendra's parents would bring home from trips to Jamaica, the tune brings you a catchy, bouncy chorus you just can't get out of your head. 'Flat Tire' was recorded with all vintage gear and tracked through a Tascam 388. It also features Ray Jacildo, collaborator of The Back Keys, Yola, on piano and organ. The B-side of the 45 features a dub remix of 'Flat Tire' by the one \u0026amp; only Paul Cherry. \"As soon as we recorded 'Flat Tire,' Terry and I agreed immediately that there should be some sort of dub remix... The tune was made for that,\" Kendra says. Terry threw out Cherry's name and they agreed he was the man for the job. The final product perfectly echoes classic late 60s dub by building from of the basics of the song... stripping the production down further, playing up the reverb and adding echoes, pauses and delays in all the right places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Flat Tire \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Flat Tire (Dub Mix) Paul Cherry\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kendra Morris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59233668071769,"sku":"V46067630","price":3.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/4498745-3545429.jpg?v=1788059709"},{"product_id":"morris-kendra-babble-gold-swirl-colored-vinyl","title":"Kendra Morris: Babble - Gold Swirl Colored Vinyl - VINYL","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eBabble - Gold Swirl Colored Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eKendra Morris\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eKarma Chief\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e674862659746\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eSoul\/R \u0026amp; B\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2023-03-10\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eCANADA - IMPORT, COLORED VINYL, GOLD\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kendra Morris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59235089285465,"sku":"V43391202","price":15.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"kendra-morris-next-compact-discs","title":"Kendra Morris: Next - COMPACT DISCS","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eNext\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eKendra Morris\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eColemine Records\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eCOMPACT DISCS\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e648564356999\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eSoul\/R \u0026amp; B\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2025-09-19\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \n                                         With her fourth full-length album of original material, idiosyncratic singer\/songwriter Kendra Morris invites you to join her in the DIY kaleidoscope world of Next. Morris's latest record for Karma Chief strips away the veneers of layered production and slick sounds to create an album that may be Kendra at her most authentic, one in which the creative process is vibrant, beautiful, and messy, buoyed by heart and the imperfectly perfect now. A concept album in reverse, Next ties Kendra's cast of characters (including her band: guitarist Supremo \"Premo\" Massiv, bassist Monti Miramonti, and drummer Chauncey Yearwood) to a vintage board game in the spirit of Milton Bradley's finest retro dice-rolling moments. Travel along Next's block-to-block journey, and this universe reveals itself as a mosaic of corals, creams, and pale lilac tiles. You can hear the sonic palette resonate with Morris's influences and inspirations. Decades of New York sounds and voices bend and blend at the seams of these tracks-a world where the Brill Building and Warhol's Factory thrive on the same block while Blondie and the Frightnrs explore rocksteady sounds. Doo-wop and boom-bap soundtrack a UHF network's worth of cut-and-paste stylings, all the while paced by Morris, an artist equally at home behind the lens as she is in front of a microphone. Next is an album of firsts. The album's extended gestation provided Morris with an opportunity to explore her ideas and demos. \"I've been living in this record for over a year,\" says Morris. \"I've always been a writer, and [Next] was a chance to write a record from scratch on my own.\" The New York (by way of Loveland, Ohio) production is co-helmed by Kendra Morris and Leroi Conroy. It's production trades the steel and chrome sleekness for a more personal and scaled-down sound, exposing the songcraft. While earlier albums were awash in IMAX-level cinematic sweep, Next explores Kendra's perspective with a handheld 8mm kinetic energy, all the while showcasing the dynamic, soulful range of her powerhouse voice - equal parts Roberta Flack, Betty Wright, and Minnie Riperton. With recording done at Portage Studios in Loveland and additional vocals recorded at Kendra's Brooklyn apartment, the symmetry is as poignant as it is reflected in the home cooking vibe throughout. \"I wrote and recorded my demos right here at this desk with my guitar, drum loops, and my Casio keyboard,\" Morris reflects. \"To then have Leroi come here, stay a few doors down, and record the vocals felt right and right now and I'm also playing guitar [on Next] which I'm excited about, too.\" Much like the best board games, you may end your journey where you began it, but the path you take along the way is where moments are made. Additional guests on the album include Ray Jacildo of Jr. Thomas and the Volcanos, lending his organ and piano to lo-fi reggae banger \"Flat Tire.\" It's a track that traces the throughline from Kingstown to Bushwick and back again all with Morris' signature AM radio-ready vocals. Kendra Morris and Karma Chief Records invite you to play along with Next, a sonic journey where the roll of the dice means excitement and adventure. Explore the world, tile by tile, meet new friends like Jerry \u0026amp; Roger, help the gang with a \"Flat Tire,\" or read a letter to \"Dear Buddy.\" Maybe you can avoid crossing paths with \"Bill.\" It's Next, complete with 10 tracks and hours of fun for the whole family. Some assembly required. Turntable, CD player, or streaming service sold separately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 In My House \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Dear Buddy \u003cbr\u003e1.3 After Midnight \u003cbr\u003e1.4 If \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Called You \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Back With Me \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Flat Tire \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Bill \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Don't Wanna Be Happy \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Go Nowhere \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Something in Common\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kendra Morris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59235104129369,"sku":"V45372957","price":4.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/4444270-3419480.jpg?v=1788060103"},{"product_id":"morris-kendra-i-am-what-im-waiting-for-blue-w-white-swirl","title":"Kendra Morris: I Am What I'm Waiting For - Blue W\/ White Swirl - VINYL","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eI Am What I'm Waiting For - Blue W\/ White Swirl\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eKendra Morris\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eKarma Chief\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eVINYL LP\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e674862662180\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eSoul\/R \u0026amp; B\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2023-08-25\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eCOLORED VINYL, CLEAR VINYL, BLUE, WHITE\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \n                                         Kendra Morris, the Brooklyn-based Artist is back with her fifth LP, entitled I Am What I'm Waiting For, on Colemine\/Karma Chief Records. Co-Written and Produced by Torbitt Schwartz (Run The Jewels, Killer Mike, Rubble Kings, Chin Chin), this collection is Kendra's most personal album to date. It was spring of 2022 and Kendra had just released Nine Lives, her first new album in almost a decade and her first release on Colemine Records. She felt an urgency to get back into the studio, but something felt different this time. Returning to her usual ways, places, and people that she had been creating with felt like dragging herself back to a familiar and comfortable place - but that wasn't what she was looking for. \"I had to step into a new, unknown process because I knew it was the only way that I'd continue to grow,\" she explained. She took a small batch of songs to Torbitt's studio and the two began to write. \"He challenged me to find the best version of every lyric,\" she shared. \"When I listen back, I'm so proud of the time we spent, because every single line is deliberate. I challenged myself to write just to write. No love songs this time around. Torbitt and I wanted to create a record that felt like you cracked open the ooze in my head. There are a lot of layers to me but I only recently through age and experience have fully accepted the weird little nuances that I'm made of. I'm a messy introvert that pretends to be an extrovert so I can feel like I fit in. \" From top to bottom, I Am What I'm Waiting For is sincere. It's a fresh take on a timeless sound, and Kendra exudes power. \"My heart has always been in soul music,\" she shared. \"On this record, you'll hear my influences and then some.

Originally released via Wax Poetics, Colemine Records is now proud to make this album widely available again on record shop shelves, right where it should be. Pulling influences from late-60s and early-70s psychedelic R\u0026amp;B and funk, Kendra adds her own rock twist in collaboration with producer\/guitarist Jeremy Page. The album is a rich sonic tapestry, with hip-hop references and beats weaving throughout. All of this sets the perfect backdrop for Kendra's known powerhouse vocals. 'Banshee' effortlessly blurs the lines between sounding old and new, and has left a lasting impression over the last decade.

After touring with Dennis Coffey and releasing singles that she did with collaborator Jeremy Page including \"Concrete Waves,\" with b-side remixed by DJ Premier, Morris released the album Banshee (2012). In 2013, Morris returned with the covers album Mockingbird, with both Banshee and Mockingbird garnering successful followings and impressive film\/tv placements. Morris also worked on a project-band with friends Scarlett Johansson, Julia Haltigan and Holly Miranda. With Este Haim joining on drums, they released one single, \"Candy\" and a cover of \"Bizarre Love Triangle\" for AMFARs The Time Is Now record.Now presenting her debut 45 on Karma Chief Records, a division of Colemine Records, Kendra showcases a textured and contemporary take on R\u0026amp;B, all while retaining the old-school flavor. The A side track 'This Life' is a 70's soul super dive carrying you through fuzzy guitars, lush harmonies and straight into the old Vegas casinos of the main strip. Who We Are, the B side, counters the upbeat side A with it's epic introspective look at the human psyche.

Co-Written and Produced by Torbitt Schwartz (Run The Jewels, Killer Mike, Rubble Kings, Chin Chin), this collection is Kendra's most personal album to date. It was spring of 2022 and Kendra had just released Nine Lives, her first new album in almost a decade and her first release on Colemine Records. She felt an urgency to get back into the studio, but something felt different this time. Returning to her usual ways, places, and people that she had been creating with felt like dragging herself back to a familiar and comfortable place - but that wasn't what she was looking for. \"I had to step into a new, unknown process because I knew it was the only way that I'd continue to grow,\" she explained. She took a small batch of songs to Torbitt's studio and the two began to write. \"He challenged me to find the best version of every lyric,\" she shared. \"When I listen back, I'm so proud of the time we spent, because every single line is deliberate. I challenged myself to write just to write. No love songs this time around. Torbitt and I wanted to create a record that felt like you cracked open the ooze in my head. There are a lot of layers to me but I only recently through age and experience have fully accepted the weird little nuances that I'm made of. I'm a messy introvert that pretends to be an extrovert so I can feel like I fit in. \" From top to bottom, I Am What I'm Waiting For is sincere. It's a fresh take on a timeless sound, and Kendra exudes power. \"My heart has always been in soul music,\" she shared. \"On this record, you'll hear my influences and then some. You'll hear all the bits of me... The vulnerable bits, the silly bits, all of it. This record is my melting pot. \" Whether you're a longtime listener or just now beginning to explore the whimsical world of Kendra Morris, the relatable lyrics and modern soul sounds on I Am What I'm Waiting For are sure to turn you into a fan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 When I Go to Space \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Anywhere \u003cbr\u003e1.3 What Are You Waiting for \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Dominoes \u003cbr\u003e1.5 The Door \u003cbr\u003e1.6 All Your Jokes \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Special \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Still Spinning \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Nightsnake \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Birthday Song \u003cbr\u003e1.11 One Last Joyride\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kendra Morris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59235184607577,"sku":"V43610327","price":4.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/4227385-2995043.jpg?v=1788060140"},{"product_id":"kendra-morris-babble-1","title":"Kendra Morris: Babble - COMPACT DISCS","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eBabble\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eKendra Morris\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eKarma Chief\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003eCOMPACT DISCS\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e674862659777\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eSoul\/R \u0026amp; B\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2023-03-03\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \n                                         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 2013, Morris returned with the covers album Mockingbird, with both Banshee and Mockingbird garnering successful followings and impressive film\/tv placements. Morris also worked on a project-band with friends Scarlett Johansson, Julia Haltigan and Holly Miranda. With Este Haim joining on drums, they released one single, \"Candy\" and a cover of \"Bizarre Love Triangle\" for AMFARs The Time Is Now record.Now presenting her debut 45 on Karma Chief Records, a division of Colemine Records, Kendra showcases a textured and contemporary take on R\u0026amp;B, all while retaining the old-school flavor. The A side track 'This Life' is a 70's soul super dive carrying you through fuzzy guitars, lush harmonies and straight into the old Vegas casinos of the main strip. Who We Are, the B side, counters the upbeat side A with it's epic introspective look at the human psyche.

The life of this multi-disciplinarian artist contains units of time and story lines through which we can all relate to universal themes of love, loss and overcoming one's fears. Kendra, never ceasing to heed her spiritual calling to continue creating music and art, no matter what, has no plans of slowing down but a belief in only evolving, eager to begin experiencing her next nine lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Keep Walking \u003cbr\u003e1.2 This Life \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Who We Are \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Nine Lives \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Penny Pincher \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Got Me Down \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Someone Else \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Dry \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Circle Eights \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Drag on\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kendra Morris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59235457565017,"sku":"V42350705","price":4.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/4043578-2786065.jpg?v=1788060215"},{"product_id":"kendra-morris-when-we-would-ride-catch-the-sun-cloudy-clear","title":"Kendra Morris: When We Would Ride \/ Catch The Sun - Cloudy Clear - 7-INCH SINGLE","description":"\u003cb\u003eTitle: \u003c\/b\u003eWhen We Would Ride \/ Catch The Sun - Cloudy Clear\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eKendra Morris\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eLabel: \u003c\/b\u003eKarma Chief\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/b\u003e7-INCH SINGLE\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eUPC: \u003c\/b\u003e674862658169\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eGenre: \u003c\/b\u003eSoul\/R \u0026amp; B\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/b\u003e2022-07-29\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cb\u003eAdditional Details: \u003c\/b\u003eCOLORED VINYL, CLEAR VINYL\u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \u003cbr\u003e\n                                         \n                                         \n                                         Catch a ride to sunny days and summertime soul!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 When We Would Ride \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Catch The Sun\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kendra Morris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59235528114521,"sku":"V42727026","price":3.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/0151\/3561\/files\/4101423-2838934.jpg?v=1788060247"}],"url":"https:\/\/normanrecord.com\/collections\/kendra-morris.oembed","provider":"NORMANRECORD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
