On Friday I photographed the singer Kendra Morris. She says she wants to live in an enchanted forest – her east village apartment is just that (see above).

She wrote all the songs on her debut album which is due out on Wax Poetics records in the spring 2012. Check out the video for her single Concrete Waves.

Kendra’s been singing for others her entire life, as a little kid in Florida she sang for her toys, in high school she sang with a gospel troupe (they sang for patients at a mental hospital one time), she sang in the Mall – the girl can really sing – she’s soulful – DJ Premier worked on Concrete Waves mix.
