It's finally here! Detroit soul man KEM has been a SoulTracks fave since Day One, and won a SoulTracks Readers' Choice Award for his last album, Intimacy: Album III. Now, the two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer, songwriter, and producer has just unveiled his latest single “It’s You,” and it is a gem: a cool ballad with a classic Motown feel and harmonies, as well as a timeless message of love.KEM describes it best saying, “It’s classic KEM with a twist that will take you by surprise. Although I’ve been signed to Motown Records since 2002, I feel ‘It’s You’ is the first song I’ve crafted that truly embodies the essence of what we have to come to know as the ‘Motown Sound’.

If The Temptations were making music for today’s R&B audience, this is what it might sound like. As for what it’s about, the brother is in love, and he knows where home is. It’s You!”
This is the first track to be released from his anxiously awaited fourth full-length studio album, Promise to Love, due out this August through Motown Records. And once you hear "It's You," we think you'll be excited to hear more from Kem!
