Kendra Morris - "If I Called You"

This week looks like it's going to finally looking like summer in the Boston area, so we're a little more inclined to enjoy a fun pop song than we normally would. According to the press release for Kendra Morris' latest single, "If I Called You" is "A true unapologetic pop song." That's certainly true, but the song still keeps everything we've loved about Morris' more soul based singles. Of course, those singles weren't exactly pure soul either, but "If I Called You" is much more upbeat and pop focused than the previous singles of hers that we've covered. This is a fun song that even the crustiest rock purists are going to be unable to resist.

Kendra Morris says of her latest single:

"I am the ultimate daydreamer. 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?"
