Universal Motown Records singer-songwriter-producer KEM has joined forces with R&B/soul superstars Anthony Hamilton, Jaheim, Raheem DeVaughn, and Universal Motown label-mate Hal Linton for the 2010 Budweiser Superfest. Co-headlined by KEM and Anthony Hamilton, the sensational summer powerhouse tour will make stops at a mix of arenas and amphitheaters beginning on August 5 at the Time Warner Cable Amphitheater at Tower City in Cleveland, Ohio and wrapping up on September 5 at the Superpages.com Center in Dallas, Texas.
A galvanizing live performer who commands the stage with his soulful vocal ability and captivating stage presence, KEM promises to deliver a standout live experience not to be missed. In addition to revisiting popular classics such as “Love Calls” and “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” the Detroit native will also showcase his gorgeous new single, “Why Would You Stay,” plus other songs from his hotly anticipated third studio album, Intimacy, to be released in August 2010.
Intimacy was inspired by KEM’s deeply personal lessons on intimacy and it will allow fans to experience him unlike ever before musically, lyrically, and visually. For the first time in his career, KEM will lay all of his cards on the table and grant fans the opportunity to get up close and personal while delivering a collection of timeless music for the grown and sexy.
Indeed, smooth grooves, powerful vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and just plain feel-good music best describe KEM’s instantly recognizable sound. In 2002, the self-taught musician wrote and produced his critically acclaimed debut solo album, Kemistry, which spawned the hit single “Love Calls.” The classic track went on to break records for longevity on the Urban A/C chart while the disc achieved gold-plus status and solidified KEM’s position as a leading man in the world of R&B music. The success of his gold certified follow-up CD, 2005’s KEM Album II—which debuted at an impressive No. 5 on Billboard’s all-important Top 200 Chart—proved KEM’s staying power in the very competitive world of R&B. Now with the release of Intimacy, KEM is opening up to reveal the elusive man behind the voice.
