R&B music icon Kem on Family, 20 years of Motown & new Live album

This episode, Frankie talks with three-time GRAMMY®-nominated multiplatinum R&B icon KEM. They talk about the Detroit native celebrating his 20-year anniversary being signed to Motown Records, how much his life has changed after becoming married with children, and his decisions behind finally recording a live album from his extensive catalog.

Most recently, KEM released his magnetically introspective EP, entitled Full Circle, with the lead single ‘Stuck On You.’ The EP’s second single, ‘Right On Time,’ featuring hip-hop heavyweight, Rick Ross, reveals KEM at the height of his power as one of music’s redefining voices, as his signature vocals flutter from sultry verses into a soaring hook.
