Synopsis

Amazon.com
Kem plays his soul-and-jazz-juiced R&B like a man who has lived through more than most of us, and indeed he has: As fans who have followed the backstory since his 2003 debut, Kemistry, know, he's an artist who was once reduced to sleeping on Detroit park benches while battling addiction. With the release of Album II, though, the sad stories need circulate no longer--all that's required to get swept up, off, and away by these tracks is a taste for solid R&B minus the hip-hop sideshow. Coaxing vocal cords more pliable than the face of Jim Carrey into unexpected directions, the Chaka Khan sound-alike--who also occasionally ventures into George Benson territory--showers tenderness over each of these songs, sauntering into some notes with suave sophistication and sneaking up on others. Though "I Can't Stop Lovin' You" is the song throwing sparks amongst the quiet storm crowd, check his stretchy tenor on "Into You" and "I'm in Love," both so deeply felt they'll send the lovelorn swooning. --Tammy La Gorce

"Kem is the most awesome performer in the music industry. His new Album Kem II is off the charts. He's passionate, spiritual, and elegant. His charisma sashays across the airwaves immediately upon hearing any one of his songs. Kem, keep doing the do baby!!!"
Kem II [Dual Disc] is a double pleasure!

"If you are a huge fan of Kem this is a must have dual disc for the collection. The CD offers a close up look of Kem and how he views his music. The live performances are amazing. The video of "Find your way back in my life" offers a refreshing view of Kem actually acting and performing versus the live version of his past two videos."

"The "dual disc" KEM II C.D.!! Does it all for me. His voice is so MELODIC. You get to see him swerve and tantalize. His presence is as powerful, as the words and the music combined.



Kem has somehow managed to surpass the excellence achieved in the Freshman C.D. entitled "KEMISTRY"
