Nov 9th, Kenya released her holiday smooth jazz infused
single, "Favorite Things" on streaming outlets everywhere. The single
was produced by Stu Stapleton and features the jazz great, Gerald Albright.
Kenya has opened up for greats like Lalah Hathaway, Alegbra, and Mint
Condition. From her performances at the Essence Festival to teaching young
musicians how to handle their business affairs, Kenya stays busy giving us this
special surprise for the holiday season. Her sultry vocals accompany the sounds
of Mr. Albright and is a crowd pleaser. The single will be found on her
upcoming EP, S.H.E. (2019 release).
One of my creative passions is rearranging music. I love to
take familiar songs and add a new "twist" to bring a new perspective
to the music. I teamed up with Nashville-based producer Stu Stapleton and
together we were able to create a very contemporary version of the classic
song. Once we laid down all of the music
and created a demo version, we agreed we really wanted to include a jazz
saxophonist that would not only bring the song to another level, but someone
whose sound compliments my style. We
agreed Gerald Albright would be a perfect fit!
