Published: Aug. 31, 2023, 4 p.m.

Brooklyn singer-songwriter Kendra Morris draws on 60s pop, 70s funk, the indie rock of the 2000\u2019s, and the timeless sounds of soul and R&B on her latest record I Am What I\u2019m Waiting For.\xa0 She\u2019s also a visual artist who\u2019s done videos for her own songs in the past as well as those by the hip hop supergroup Czarface and the producer MF Doom.\xa0Notably absent are \u201clove songs\u201d \u2013 instead, the record dives into her fears of flying, the mundane conflicts of domesticity and cohabitation, and a valiant attempt to expand the birthday song canon. Kendra Morris and her band play some of these songs, in-studio.
