DETROIT — Still basking in the Grammy Award-nominated success of last year’s “Intimacy: Album III,” which debuted at No. 2 on the Top 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, Detroit singer Kem promises he won’t make fans wait another five years for his next album.

“I’m already cultivating songs for the next record,” Kem (nee Owens), who’s currently on tour, tells Billboard.com.

“I’ve got three or four ideas, and I think when we come back to do the Detroit shows (March 25 and April 10) I’ll be getting some cats in the studio and cut some things while we’re there. So we’re thinking about the fourth album right now.”
