The Soul of Redemption: KEM’s Intimate Residency at Blue Note

HOLLYWOOD, CA – Modern R&B icon KEM is set to bring his signature blend of sensuous grooves and mesmerizing vocals to Blue Note Los Angeles for an exclusive four-night residency. The Detroit-born superstar will perform from Thursday, March 12, through Sunday, March 15, 2026, offering fans a rare opportunity to witness his magnetic stage presence in an intimate setting.

Ascending from the shadows of addiction and homelessness to become a cornerstone of Motown’s modern era, KEM’s music is a testament to resilience and faith. His lyrics—overflowing with love and hope—have earned him comparisons to soul legends like Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, and Al Jarreau.

A Journey of Love and Faith

The residency follows the success of his best-selling memoir, Share My Life: A Journey of Love, Faith, and Redemption. These performances serve as a live extension of his story, stripping away stadium production to focus on the raw storytelling and melodic precision that have defined his twenty-year career.

Fans can expect a setlist featuring his smooth, jazz-inflected hits, including:

• “Love Calls”

• “Share My Life”

• “I Can’t Stop Loving You”

• “Why Would You Stay”

The Blue Note Experience

Choosing the Blue Note for this engagement allows KEM to lean into the jazz-oriented foundations of his sound. Backed by his elite touring band, the performances will highlight the “honest lyrics and distinctive voice” that have allowed him to sell millions of albums worldwide.
