Life's Common Things At Heart Of K'Jon's R&B Music     I'm
Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Coming up,
I'll share some of my thoughts in my weekly Can I Just Tell You
commentary.  But first, as we prepare to head to Detroit for
tomorrow's program, we are gearing up by bringing you distinct
voices and stories from the Motor City and so now we want to
highlight one of those voices, Detroit's very own K'Jon.
K'JON: (Singing) Sometimes, it feels like everything is passing
me by. Every now and then, it feels like my ship has gone and
sailed away.  MARTIN: That was "On the Ocean" from his 2009
album "I Get Around." The song set a record for longest run on
Billboard's hot R&B and hip-hop song chart and you can see why
in these difficult times. It expresses the longing for better
times, both of one man and his city.  Now, K'Jon is preparing to
release a new album. It's due out later this year, titled
"Moving On," and here to give us an exclusive preview is the man
himself, K'Jon.  Welcome. Than
