This new record of Soul and R&B duo Kloud 9 definitely is one of the freshest releases in this genre during the last months.
Kloud 9 consists of twin brothers Kelvis and Kendall Duffie, who were born in Moline, Illinois near Chicago. Their mother was a church musician and so they also started singing in church at a very early age. They gained first public attention at the age of 14, when people like Jerry Weaver, the former lead guitarist of Aretha Franklin and the producer of such artists as Janet Jackson took a strong interest in them. The Brothers joined a Gospel Group called Meekness, which performed with groups like "The Commissioned" and "Take 6". Those experiences gave them the possibility to start bigger and better things.
Kendall went to London, where he lived for almost two years just to get new creative impulses and built up new connections. There he met producer Ray Hayden, who introduced him to Incognito front man "Bluey", who is now also contributing to the latest release. After short meetings with several record labels, Kendall finally met Ralph Tee from Expansion Records, who released the sampler "Soul Stepp'n", on which the duo released its first song called "Make You Mine". Kirk Whalum, who was playing with them on this record, is now also featured on the new recording.
