The Pulse of Entertainment: Kendra Erika Music Video for Single ‘Body Language' Airing on MTV's ‘Spankin'
New', Receives One Million Views on YouTube in Two Months
by Dr. Eunice Moseley
(December 13, 2024) - "Body language...global communications," said
Electronic Dance Music artist Kendra Erika about the meaning to the title of her new single "Body
Language" (Oyster Shell Music/KDM Music/AMG Canada/Sony Music). "Body language is in friendships,
relationships, political debates, dance moves on the floor."
The singer/songwriter's "Body Language"
single reached #2 on iTunes Chart and on TikTok her music video for the "Body Language" single has garnered over
one million views in two months. A brief online search tells me that the only other artist to accumulate one million views
on a music video within two months is Taylor Swift. It is written by Kendra (born Kendra Erika Fulmer) and produced by Ellis
Miah and Marvin Buessau (Miley Cyrus). Grammy nominated DJ Stonebridge (Usher) remixed the "Body Language" single.
"I have
been performing professionally since I graduate college - part-time, ¾," Kendra informed me when I asked. "Soon
as I graduated high school, I wanted to go to New York and Los Angeles to perform as a career. My mom had the foresight to
say this is wonderful but obtained a four-year degree first."
"So, I did my time," she laughed. "When we revisited
it (going to NY and Los Angeles to perform) I still wanted to do this...full force."
Discovered by AMG/Sony's TJ Goodin
and signed by Mark Berry (Duran Duran) for AMG/Sony, Erika studied communication in college, and it is evident with this single
"Body Language". I mentioned the connection.
"My mom did that (had her graduate with a college degree),"
she pointed out. "I've evolved...from Bubble Gum Pop to a more...fresh sound."
What also impressed me with not
only this single "Body Language", but her other releases is the music. The music is so bigger than life in sound
to match her bigger than life persona.
"I use difference producers. I have a roller-decks of producers," Kendra
Erika said with a slight laugh. "Each producer offers a different sound."
Kendra, a Florida native, saw her music video
to her single "Self-Control" (produced by Grammy winning Damon Sharpe and Eric Sanicola) released five years ago,
collect 200,000 views and garnered #1 position on Billboard's Dance Song Chart. Three years ago, the music video for her single
"Gemini" (written by Chris Garcia) has received 500,000 views. Her music video for the single "Thriller Killer",
released two years ago, has one million views.
MTV's "Spankin' New Video" show has her "Body Language" music video
in rotation. Kendra Erika has garnered five Billboard Top Ten Dance Songs and has performed as an open act for Jason Derulo. www.KendraErika.com
