an ONLINE concert WORLDWIDE
LIVE KEMistry !
Summary
It was really great seeing KEM connect with his online “KEMunity” for a free concert! At just 10min into the live stream, there were 31k people on Facebook tuned in…and it grew to 63 thousand at its peak!
The set wasn’t that long, only 46min, and he sang 7 songs which included: “I Can’t Stop Loving You”, “Can You Feel It”, Why Would You Stay”, “Love Calls”
Kem dedicated “Promise to Love” to his wife Erica, which was very sweet. To all the frontline people involved in keeping us going during this Covid-19 crisis, he dedicated his song “This Place”
When asked in the comments who his biggest musical inspirations were, Kem replied: Al Jarreau, Prince, Michael Jackson 😍 , and Ron Isley. He then begins singing the collab with Ron (a favorite of mine) “My Favorite Thing”
He admits when the news of the virus first emerged, he didn’t take it very seriously until it began to unfold is when he became concerned. Not fearful because of his faith. He explained his belief that faith doesn’t indemnify us from the crisis…faith prepares and enables us to be who/what/where we need to be in order to navigate crisis more effectively. To not let this shake us or keep us from what we are called to do because our calling is ours even through a crisis.
He may not have been 100% certain on the LIVE experience, but with the help of his wife, Erica in the background prompting him, Kem did well! During the whole live stream, Kem was super laid back and just vibin’ with us. We got to meet the youngest members of the Owens household, Miss Trinity who is almost 6 months old, and 3-year old son Christopher.
I wish the stream was longer, with more music, or a better balance of music/talk but I’m not mad about it…just greedy I guess. LOL I was just getting into it when it was over 😪
No date announced but there is a new project coming this year! The upcoming album is called “Devotion” with a single to be released soon. I know I’m looking forward to it!
If you missed it…catch the full stream above (for as long as Kem will have it available anyway LOL)
