PROMISE TO LOVE is powered by two #1 hit singles, "It's You" and "Nobody," marking the first time KEM has had two #1 songs from the same CD.

The album's latest single, "Nobody," earned a third GRAMMY® nomination for KEM and was the #1 UAC song for 9 consecutive weeks, and topped the charts for a total of 10 weeks. The single was in the Top 10 for 37 consecutive weeks. The CD's first single, "It's You," was #1 atop the charts for 4 consecutive weeks, and spent 5 weeks total at #1.

KEM has been enjoying a banner year, having performed with Charlie Wilson on his 44-city Forever Charlie Tour along with performances at: the Hampton Jazz Festival; the 2015 Essence Festival; the Macy's Music Festival and the Oakland Jazz Festival. He will also play the Arizona Jazz Fest on October 25.

On top of everything he's achieved professionally, KEM celebrated 25 years of being clean and sober on July 23, 2015, which also happened to be his birthday. This makes everything that he's been able to accomplish as an artist even more meaningful. KEM says, "25 years of sobriety is definitely an accomplishment, but at the same time I'm not ashamed of my addictions. My whole foundation and career have been built upon the things that I've been allowed to overcome in my life."
