For someone who professes not to be special on her new album, “I Am What I’m Waiting For,” Kendra Morris is … pretty special. Morris is a Greenpoint-based soul singer-songwriter and visual artist who has been recording and gigging  steadily — at her own pace and on her own terms — since her 2010 self-titled debut. The lead single off her new album, produced by Little Shalimar of Run the Jewels, is “What Are You Waiting For,” a propulsive and insistent and sexy workout. “Dominoes,” released as a video last week, comically chronicles the pitfalls of married life. We’ll talk about that. We’ll discuss collaborating with everyone from Dennis Coffey to Czarface to Ghostface Killah to, uh, Scarlett Johansson. And we talk about forging her own path in the music industry, her process and her visual art.
