“Live Out Your Love,” KEM’s duet with GRAMMY® Award-winning soul songstress Toni Braxton, takes the #1 spot on Billboard’s Adult R&B Songs airplay chart, dated January 2, 2021. The single is KEM’s seventh # 1 hit.

“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.

The two #1 singles mark the second time KEM has posted back-to-back chart-toppers (“It’s You” 2014 – four weeks; “Nobody” 2015 – nine weeks).

“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.”

‘Live Out Your Love’ is also the featured song in a recent KEM/PEPSI campaign, “Full of Detroit Soul,” which honors soulful arts in Detroit. Fans can catch KEM in an exclusive livestream performance on Tuesday, January 12, in collaboration with PEPSI. KEM will perform his new #1 hit single along with several of his other hits.
