Today’s Top Tune | Best New Music Kendra Morris: ‘In My House’ (Radio Edit)
Brooklyn-based musician Kendra Morris explores chaos and catharsis, what she describes as an overlap of her messy little Brooklyn apartment and the clutter that accumulates in her head. The melody and rhythm for “In My House” came both from Morris tooling around on her Casio and from her speaking tongue twisters while walking her neighborhood. https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/todays-top-tune/kendra-morris-in-my-house-radio-edit
