Although I have never heard a full album, I am a fan of Kem. The Detroit native has been a hit with the R&B crowd since emerging on the scene in 2001. Kem self-financed his first album, Kemistry, then after selling 50,000 on his own, was signed to Motown Records who re-leased the album in 2002. Kemistry went on to sell 500,000+ copies, reaching Gold status. In 2005, Kem released Album II, which went on to also sell 500,000+ albums, spawning the #1 Adult Contemporary hit, I Can’t Stop Loving You.
This July, Kem is set to release his third album, titled Intimacy. It will feature a feature by Jill Scott. The first single leaked, Why Would You Stay is a great song I stumbled upon. In it, Kem questions a woman why she would stay with him after he has treated her so badly, but noting he will never hurt her again. Its a bit of that grown people music, but definitely deserves a listen!

When can I get this on iTunes????
Hello K. Mitchell,
Unfortunately, I don’t think this song is available for download on iTunes yet, because I have looked myself. I even checked Kem’s Myspace and website and neither have been updated. I’m not sure when Motown plans to start promoting for this project but they are already running late…
It’s on I tunes I downloaded the song yesterday
