Kendra Morris keeps pushing the musical ceiling with every new release, and on her new song “Flat Tire,” she delivers a reggae/pop/doo wop-infused jam that explores her unique creative process and the ups and downs of how her mind works. From the crunchy reggae drum grooves, lush guitar stabs and scenic pads that emulate classic Jamaican dub from the 80s, the track evokes feelings of the past with a modern twist as Morris takes listeners deep into the crevices of her mind. The verses are powerful, and how they build up into the chorus needs to be studied, as Morris explodes into a crescendo with her mantra-like hook.
The visuals also tap into the retro theme and employ grainy, quirky elements with throwback costumes, set pieces, all threaded by the classic VHS visual effect that gives it context.
“Flat Tire” is lifted from her forthcoming fourth full-length album.
