Kem opens ALBUM II by questioning the nature of love on "Find Your Way (Back in My Life)," and the entire record is an exploration of that familiar theme. Kem's take on love is multi-faceted and, at times, deeply tied to his connection with God, to whom he directly addresses two songs, "Heaven" and "Each Other." An unassuming spirituality winds its way through his R&B compositions in an organic fashion similar to Stevie Wonder's early 1970s output, and, fittingly, that legend drops by to lend his unmistakable harmonica to the breathtaking "You Might Win." ALBUM II serves as an admirable second outing for an emergent soul voice.

With an alluring smooth-jazz backdrop to match his silken vocals, Kem captured many a heart on his bewitching debut, KEMISTRY. For his 2005 follow-up, simply titled ALBUM II, the Nashville native provides another set of enchanting soul torch songs, exquisitely produced by Kem himself. The result is an incredibly seductive record with winsome flutes and summery saxophones drifting in behind Kem's beguiling voice.

Personnel: Kem (vocals, keyboards); Quentin Baxter, Reggie McTaw (guitar); Stevie Wonder (harmonica); David McMurray (saxophone); Brian O'Neal (keyboards, synthesizer); Fred Robinson , Al Turner (bass instrument); Ron Otis (drums); Marlon Curry (percussion).

5 stars Kem II CD
Soothing, relaxing with an upbeat and positive message. In listening to this CD at times I thought his sound to be similar to Maxwell and other times I heard notes that put me in the mind of Al Jarreau

5 stars Another masterpiece of music for the soul.
Kem has really outdid himself with this CD. He took his time with this CD and listen to the most important person of all to create another masterpiece, GOD. "AlbumII" picks up where "Kemistry"left off. If you listen to some of his lyrics, he is talking about first, a love for GOD and a love for someone. Kem is right when he sings thatin order for a person to find heaven, they must find heaven within themselves.

5 stars Awesome
I loved his first CD: "Kemistry". I feel like this is 10 times better. I can't wait for the next one. I actually heard him sing several of the songs at this year's Essence Fesitival in New Orleans, He sounds exactly like he does on the CD. He can really sing.
