Two years later Kem issued his second album, which got the logical title Album II (2005). Single I Can't Stop Loving You became the real hit in the numerous Adult Contemporary radio stations. It is not the necessary fact that Kem’s music will be enjoyed by the teenagers, because it disposes for calmness and reflections, but adults will be interested in soft and leisured melodies that proved to be the recognizable feature of the singer’s creativity. Special attention was paid to the song You Might Win, created jointly with the legendary Stevie Wonder, who recorded the part of harmonica.
