Critically-acclaimed R&B singer Kendra Jae is closing out the year on a falsetto with her new single, “Wanted.” This track serves as a follow up to the California riser’s collaborative hits with DaniLeigh on “BBC” and AUGUST 08 on “Under the Mistletoe,” both of which were featured on Def Jam Recordings’ Def The Halls compilation released earlier this year.
Over the years, Kendra has been hard at work creating a name for herself. From dancing for the likes of Beyoncé, Drake, Gwen Stefani and Dua Lipa, to choreographing music videos for Chloe x Halle and Saweetie, she has always wanted to develop a signature style of her own.
With “Wanted,” Kendra gives a rundown of her emotional needs, detailing the specifics behind how she likes to be loved. The record is filled with one liners that lay out a modern and relatable blueprint for love, one taken straight from her own intimate experiences.
On the new track, she explains: “I feel like is the epitome of what every girl thinks but might not say out loud. Wanting to be wanted is a universal desire that we all crave – whether we want to admit it or not.”
The self-described “Wifey” has blossomed from a professional dancer into an emerging artist, leaning on a natural talent for singing that she’s always retained as part of her identity. As she’s gearing up for the release of her debut EP, Kendra Jae is turning the page on a new chapter in her sonics as a solo artist.
