Twin brothers Kendall and Kelvis Duffie have enjoyed success in this fast growing era of the independent artist and label by staying true to what they love. Since the release of their 2002 debut “On Kloud 9”, they have become one of the most beloved new soul acts around.
2007 proved to be a ground breaking year for the guys with US tour dates opening for the Isley Brothers, The Whispers, Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly and winning the Soultracks Awards for best duo/group in Detroit, MI.
The new album features the single “Can’t Be Love” currently garnering nationwide airplay by syndicated radio personality Michael Baisden. And the smooth jazz infused “All That Matters”.
Baisden who is heard on 70 stations nationwide has been successful at tagging a core group of artist as “B Side” has now added Kloud 9 to his mix.
The album also features a hot dance floor song entitled “Everything Is Good 2nite” featuring UK Funk-Jazz band Incognito. There’s also a remix of the same song that should more than satisfy the house and dance music crowd.
See what the industry is saying about Kloud 9!
R&B legend Walter Scott of the Whispers says “These are some super talented brothers no question about it. The world is gonna hear from them”
Recording artists and longtime friend and supporter Maysa Leak says “This is quality soul music at its best; cool, smooth and sexy is exactly what Kloud 9 represents!”
