Jayson’s DJ Pick of the Week is “When We Would Ride” by Kendra Morris and Eraserhood Sound! Calling to mind the iconic sounds of 70s soul, Morris’s distinct vocal style delivers clarity with a touch of the blues. Meanwhile, production from Eraserhood Sound showcases a unique synthetic soul sound, which brings in influences such as 90s g-funk and jazz fusion. As an end product, the trio crafts a delicate blend that bears the marks of each of its creators while also forging a unique identity.
Lyrically, “When We Would Ride” inspires an intensely personal feeling of nostalgia. As Morris recollects precious memories of the mundane moments spent with a close friend, she invites each of us to take a trip down our own memory lanes.
