“Live Out Your Love” is the second chart-topping single from KEM’s new album, Love Always Wins via Motown. The first single, “Lie to Me,” spent seven weeks at #1 “Love Always Wins” entered Billboard’s Current R&B Albums chart at #1 in September 2020.

“When I got word that ‘Live Out Your Love’ was number one, my initial thought was literally, ‘Wow,’” said KEM.
“What a way to start off 2021, to kick off this new season that we’re all entering, with the message of this song. This milestone is a testament to my faith and it’s a true testament to my team and most importantly, my fans, who waited so patiently for this new music. They have shown me love and support since my first album, KEMISTRY and throughout the 2020 Pandemic. I don’t take any of it for granted.”
