Musician Kem returns to the scene with his latest EP, Full Circle. The Detroit-based singer opens up his latest project with “Stuck On You,” which has seen success on the Urban AC charts. An airy love song written by Kem and co-produced by Derek “DOA” Allen, the track is the vein reminiscent of an early eighties Lionel Richie.
Kem’s tenor glides through the song as he effortlessly croons his feelings toward his intended. The lyrics include, “We be making love til the morning/Can’t you hear the raindrops falling/ In your tenderness/And even when my world is spinning/I got a brand new beginning/When I feel your kiss.”
“The Best Is Yet To Come” is up next and reminded me of a steppers-style song with the groovy production. I can’t help but wonder why Kem didn’t feature a Chi-town based like Common on the track as he would fit perfectly.
Miami-based Hip Hop artist Rick Ross does join KEM for the album’s third track, “Right On Time,” an infectious bop that will have you ready to break out the roller skates. Most surprising on the EP is Ty Dolla $ign, who joins Kem for the titular EP track. The song shouldn’t work, but somehow, it does.
Kem closes out the EP with “Lonely,” a song that I thought would be a deary ballad. Instead, Kem gives another mid-tempo solid track perfect for sipping a glass of wine.
Final Grade: B+
Full Circle is available on all streaming platforms
Nineties R&B fans had an exciting moment last week when rumors began circulating that vocal powerhouses Brandy and Monica are reportedly embarking on “The Boy Is Mine Tour” this fall. While no official announcement has been made yet, with Monica’s debut album “Miss Thang” celebrating its 30th anniversary next month, I thought it would be the perfect pick for this week’s Second Listen Sunday.
As Black Music Month 2025 continues, I wanted to give flowers to “The Queen of Funk,” Ms. Chaka Khan, for this week’s Slow Jam Saturday. The song I decided to highlight is “Through the Fire.”
If there were ever a question on Jeopardy with a category about R&B bands and the question centered on Cameo, I’m sure it would be on one of their signature songs, “Candy” or “Word Up!”
