Kendra Foster

Neo-soul singer Kendra Foster's profile rose considerably after fans found her name all over the credits of D’Angelo’s sterling 2014 comeback album Black Messiah (she contributed backup vocals and co-wrote 8 out of 12 tracks on the release). But she’s been around for quite a while, as both a solo artist and a member of George Clinton’s P-Funk All Stars. Her self-titled 2016 album helped the rest of us realize what her more famous collaborators already knew: This girl can groove with the best of them.
