    My favorite covers from Mockingbird? That'd be 500 Miles ( I had a lot of fun flipping it and Godforbid on the duet is a good friend of mine and an incredible artist so was fun teaming up).. also Shine on You Crazy Diamond because it's such an epic tune in general and Don't Talk.. I love Brian...

    Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 11 - May 2020 /// Kendra Morris - Mockingbird

    I picked a lot of the songs off Mockingbird as a fan of the song writing for them each as well as a challenge.. sometimes to flip the song than entirely different version OR sometimes to take the sample the song was known for and challenge myself to do the entire version and give it my own spin...

    I unfortunately didn't get to share any studio time or meet MF DOOM , Deck or Open Mike Eagle .. I did all my vocals remotely at my producer Jeremy Pages (also part of Czarkeys ) studio in Bushwick .. he and 7L would have different vibes they wanted me to create vocally or with the song I did...
