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
There are some albums you revisit because of nostalgia, and then there are albums you return to because they remind you just how high the standard used to be. Anita Baker’s Rapture falls into that second category. Released in 1986, the album did more than make Baker a star. It helped define what sophisticated, grown R&B could sound like without losing any soul, sensuality, or personality.
Gwen Stefani had already established herself as a significant force with No Doubt when she released her debut solo album, *Love. Angel. Music. Baby* in 2004. This week, while my iPod was on shuffle, one of my favorite songs from that project, “The Real Thing,” came on. Although the original version has an upbeat new-wave feel, the Slow Jam Mix takes it to another level and is the perfect choice for this week’s Slow Jam Saturday.
Unless you’re a music purist, mentioning Randy Jackson from the famous family is likely to elicit a joke. However, any serious Jackson fan knows that Randy had musical achievements long before the punchlines. Before he was old enough to buy a drink, he had already co-written “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)” and “Lovely One” with Michael Jackson.
