Kedash is back in town, bringing a feel-good, happy-time track with a title that asks, appropriately, “DontCha Wanna Have Fun.”
““DontCha Wanna Have Fun’ is about a guy who’s trying to get with a girl, and she’s not gonna make it easy for him,” she said.
“She wants him to understand that she’s not with the games, and that if he’s really serious then she’ll be open to the possibility of them being together. But he has to make a commitment of some sort, and then they can have some fun.”
Can you tell me I’m the one?
Don’t you wanna have fun
I’ll treat you good
Like you knew I would
“It means, if you can’t tell me I’m the one, then you can’t taste my cookie,” she said, quoting another line from the song.
She added, “If, LOL, you know what I mean.”
The song is set to a West Coast sample by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog. Kedash’s sexy, vibrant voice is born for R&B, hip-hop and pop, which means she can use it for any kind of music she wants to sing.
Her primary genres are hip-hop and R&B, but she doesn’t let that limit her.
“I like to do a fusion of all the types of music that I like, which means I do every genre of music basically. I have straight R&B songs, too, but I’m going to incorporate some jazz fusion and a little bit of everything in the songs I’m going to be putting out.”
She is reviving the recording part of her career, but one of her everyday jobs is singing with a lot of bands.
“I get to do a lot of different music, and I enjoy a lot of different music.”
Kedash started singing at the age of 7 and recorded her first background vocals in the studio when she was 12. From then on, she did background vocals for a lot of artists and record labels.
Kedash comes from soul and R&B royalty. Her father, Carter Cornelius, was one of the Cornelius brothers, as in The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose, a group that gained fame in the ’70s.
Two of their original songs made the top of the Billboard chart. “Too Late to Turn Back Now” went to No. 2 and “Treat Her Like a Lady” made it to No. 3.
The bands she sings with in south Florida perform at clubs, country clubs, private events and festivals. A lot of them play Top 40 stuff. She laughs when she says that.
“I’m trying to slowly incorporate my music into the venues, but a lot of them are, you know, a little older, so they can’t — they wouldn’t be able to …” and her voice trails off, into the impression that what some of her audiences can’t do is make the leap into, say, hip-hop.
She is working on an album she hopes to bring out in the fall and is lining up tour dates and other appearances, including performing as Tina Turner in a tribute concert.
A big part of that appearance will be her stage presence, which, she said, “I integrate into everything that I do,” she said.
With her new focus on recording and putting out music, she said, “I want to use my talent and my artistic skills to express my music like I want to.”
She wants to make a name for herself, as her father and aunts and uncles did before her.
“I want to do more of my music and go as far as my music can take me,” she said. “I want to do concerts and tours, opening acts and things of that sort because I want to get my music out there.”
She wants to put out a couple more singles before the album, and to break the ice is “DontCha Wanna Have Fun.”
“A lot of my other songs, the more R&B songs, are sadder. You know — he broke my heart, he left me, all that. This is a song to make you giggle a little bit, just to make someone have a good time.”
