For her latest single, Kendra Morris has penned a song for her ten year old daughter. "Dear Buddy" is a laid back soul song that is quite simply lovely. The song is oddly comforting, and incorporates a vibraphone and glockenspiel that offer some extra melody, but also add a slight lullaby vibe to the song. Writing a song about your kids has tripped up many a legendary songwriter, but Morris' latest is fantastic. While her previous single, "In My House," was a hybrid soul song that added a few other genres into its sound, "Dear Buddy" is mostly a straight up soul song that could almost have come from anytime in the past four or so decades.
Kendra Morris says of her latest single:
"You can love so much it hurts. 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."
You can listen to "Dear Buddy" below. The single is available now on Karma Chief Records with an album due in the fall. For more on Kendra Morris, check out the artist's website.
