R&B SUPERSTAR KEM RELEASES HIS UPLIFITING NEW ALBUM “LOVE ALWAYS WINS”

In an era when musicians routinely throw out an album (or more) a year, Kem is meticulous. ….an “Adult R&B” mainstay, a slyly expressive singer with a slicing, airy voice and catalog full of tender love songs.” — Rolling Stone

 

R&B superstar KEM released his uplifting new album, LOVE ALWAYS WINS (Motown), a powerful testament to his hopeful outlook despite current times, a reminder of the power of love and a project he calls his most personal yet. LOVE ALWAYS WINS, which includes features from GRAMMY® Award winners Toni Braxton, Erica Campbell and acclaimed musician Brian Culbertson, is available for download/stream HERE.

Like many artists, the global pandemic forced KEM to finish up LOVE ALWAYS WINS at his home studio in Atlanta, but it was always his goal to be more open and vulnerable than he had before. “Because of the quarantine, I was unable to jam with my band. The new normal has forced me—probably in a good way—to go deeper into myself. Being creatively isolated excited my need to reach out. LOVE ALWAYS WINS is my way of connecting; it’s a cry to my friends, my family, my fans…to anyone and everyone looking for light and love in these unprecedented times. The more we suffer separation, the more we require togetherness,” said KEM.

The result is LOVE ALWAYS WINS, 12 tracks of KEM’s unique brand of R&B, including “Lie to Me,” his first single from the album that was #1 on the Billboard Adult R&B songs chart for seven consecutive weeks. The single also became the fastest rising of KEM’s seven chart-topping singles.

LOVE ALWAYS WINS also features KEM’s second single, “Live Out Your Love,” a sultry duet that features soul songstress, Toni Braxton, along with the lush title track, “Love Always Wins,” featuring Gospel music powerhouse Erica Campbell and his inspiring track, “Friend Today,” both reminiscent of the music birthed out of social justice movements.

True fans will soon discover that LOVE ALWAYS WINS does not disappoint, as KEM delivers his signature deeply romantic songs and heartfelt lyrics on tracks such as “Not Before You,” “Lonely” and “Love,” the likes of which have propelled his previous hits to be the musical backdrop for marriage proposals, romantic nights and wedding ceremonies.

“I’ve never viewed romance in a casual light,” says KEM. “Even in a song as seemingly secular as ‘Lie to Me,’ I’m expressing gratitude for the gifts that come with a committed relationship. A love that flows non-stop, from lover to lover…to the ultimate lover of our souls, the Creator of all Love.”

KEM continued, “If your brand of love only thrives in times of comfort and convenience then I have to question the validity of the conversation. I’m a believer that, even in this season of despair, love is the strongest force, the only force, capable of healing all that hurts us. Without it, there is only darkness.”

The songs on LOVE ALWAYS WINS were co-produced by KEM and Derek “DOA” Allen, and features contributions by musical notables including Anthony Hamilton, Brian Culbertson, James Poyser and Salaam Remi.

LOVE ALWAYS WINS is the follow-up to KEM’s 2014 album, PROMISE TO LOVE, which debuted at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It entered the Billboard 200 at No. 3, becoming his third consecutive top five album on the tally. PROMISE TO LOVE contained the hit singles “Nobody” and “It’s You,” which each spent multiple weeks atop the Urban Adult Contemporary radio charts. “Nobody” earned KEM his third GRAMMY® nomination.

The internationally renowned R&B singer/songwriter has to his credit: one Platinum album (KEM: ALBUM II), two Gold albums (KEMISTRY and INTIMACY), three GRAMMY® nominations and seven No. 1 singles. In addition, KEM has been nominated for six NAACP Image Awards, two Soul Train Awards and a BET Centric Award.
