Universal Motown Records singer-songwriter-producer KEM is ready for a hot summer thanks to his third album, Intimacy. Due for release in July 2010, the album is the Detroit nativeâs long awaited follow-up to his critically acclaimed and certified gold 2005 disc, KEM Album II. Inspired by deeply personal lessons on intimacy, Kem, for the first time in his career, lays all of his cards on the table, granting fans the opportunity to get up close and personal on the 10-song collection for the grown and sexy. âIâve spent the past five years working on this project in the midst of many personal trials, which caused me to pause and take a more introspective look at myself, my family relationships, my walk with God, and even how I relate to my music,â KEM says of “Intimacy”. âWhat I found was that giving each more time and attention is essential.â Not a solo effort, Kem’s “Intimacy” also features vocal and production collaborations with the likes of David J. Van dePitt and Grammy-winning soul diva Jill Scott, who delivers enchanting verses of spoken word on âGolden Days”. Rex Rideout (Luther Vandross, Angie Stone) also joined KEM in the studio to help round out the Intimacy listening experience. “Intimacy” is slated for release July 2010.
Kem and Jill Scott are two incredibly talented musicians, and the news that they have joined forces for an upcoming album is sure to set the music world alight. This new collaboration promises to be something special, with Kem describing it as ‘intimate’ – a fitting word given their prior success in creating heartfelt music. It’s clear that this pairing of hip-hop/soul crossover innovators will create something truly unique. In this article we’ll look deeper into what fans can expect from this exciting project.
The Detroit singer/songwriter Kem has been consistently pushing musical boundaries since he first emerged on the scene in 2003 with his debut album ‘Kemistry’. He quickly established himself as one of modern R&B’s most daring artists, combining smooth soulful sounds with honest lyricism. His fourth studio album ‘Intimacy’ was particularly well received by critics, cementing him as a respected figure within the genre.
Meanwhile Philadelphia’s own Jill Scott has also had huge impact on popular music since she released her debut single ‘A Long Walk’ back in 2000. Her blend of jazz, hip hop and neo-soul has seen her accumulate numerous awards including three Grammy Awards over the course of her career. Having worked alongside some of music’s biggest names such as Will Smith, Eric Benet and Common over the years, there can be no doubt that when these two come together great things should follow!
