I can honestly say nothing was ever handed to me. : I do it because I don't know what else I would do. You still have a weekend job bartending, got this dream of making music, how do you keep it going? How do you keep yourself convinced that that could still happen? And you learn from those things.īLOCK: How do you keep going because it's not an easy path for many, many musicians who try to make it.

And I was heartbroken, but you know, I've had a lot of heartbreaks and you just get back up and you keep doing it. I was going to sing Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." I walked into the producers of the show, sang like three notes and they just said, next. And we stood in line for I think 27 hours. I worked at this restaurant and I remember watching the first season and being like, well, I'll go try out for "American Idol." Why not, you know? My dad and I drove to Miami - I lived in St. I've read, Kendra, that you - I guess a while ago, long time ago maybe - auditioned for "American Idol." And it might wreak a lot of havoc, but it's so worth it for that second of being on the top.īLOCK: I'm talking to Kendra Morris. And so it was a concrete wave, like the metaphor to that was kind of just following through with a moment of what feels good. But if you hit a pebble, you go flying off your skateboard and there's nothing to catch you. : But with skateboarding, you're gliding, you're going fast, sometimes you're on a ramp and you just feel on top of the world. I did it to meet guys and that didn't go well, either. : I think "Concrete Waves" is one that actually really illustrates that. It was always about seeing what weird note you could come up with.īLOCK: What great training right there in the car.īLOCK: And now, 20-some years later, you're doing that same sort of layering thing in this new album.īLOCK: Is there song on the new album that really illustrates that, do you think? And my mom was a singer, and we would just sit in the car, picking up my brother from school, and we would harmonize to each other. And I just remember like that was something that just started interesting me. And I was like, wow - was like, there's all these me voices. So, I was like eight years old, sitting in this closet, creating harmonies. I remember realizing that if I recorded on one and then took another tape and flipped the other one to the other side of the karaoke machine, I could record another voice on top of that.

And I started learning how to bounce vocals with those. And I would tape over the edges, so I could record over those. : Well, what I did with that, I remember I got a karaoke machine for Christmas and I had all of these cassette tapes. Kendra, welcome to the program.īLOCK: I keep picturing in your closet as a girl with a karaoke machine. It's a moody mix of neo-soul called "Banshee."īLOCK: And Kendra Morris joins me from our New York studios. Now, the 31, Kendra Morris is out with her first full-length album. Later, when she moved to New York to chase her music dreams, it was back into her closet with an eight-track recorder she bought. Petersburg, Florida, Morris would go into her closet and sing along with her karaoke machine.

Overall, this was a fun program that could have had a more professional design. However, we would have liked a way to hook up our microphone to the computer and amplify our voice instead of singing a cappella. The program didn't include any special features, but that didn't offend us. The entire package flowed well and was fun to sing along with, except there was no need for a microphone. The lyrics scrolled across the screen and stayed with the music perfectly. Some karaoke files were very digitized and unrealistic, and others sound like the real thing. The music was clear, but the quality depended on the source it was downloaded from. We liked being able to build our song catalog from previously downloaded files using only a few key strokes. We were able to navigate the karaoke machine with only a few keyboard commands, but its weak black-and-white design should better reflect the fun of singing karaoke.

The program's interface was easy to operate but disappointingly bland. The program won't win any awards for its design, but it functions as a very simple and fun way to sing songs. Karaoke Player offers to convert any computer into a karaoke machine.
