Kevin Ross Releases New EP ‘Drive’

Six months after dropping his debut album, The Awakening, Kevin Ross returns with a brand new EP titled Drive. 

Ross takes listeners on a smooth ride over a course of six tracks. He begins the short trip with a mid-tempo “Cruise” before arriving at the reggae-inspired “Representa.” On “Prototype,” Ross puts his own spin on Andre 3000’s classic track, which appeared on his 2004 album, The Love Below. 

The EP stops at “Black James Dean,” where he pours his emotions on the track. “So I keep on burning out at top speed / I feel like I’m James Dean / When you’re not around me / You’re burning out at top speed / Wreckless like I’m James Dean / ‘Cause I don’t wanna crash and burn,” he sings.

Listen to Justin Love’s New EP ‘When Love Returns’

Rising singer Justin Love has released his new EP When Love Returns.

The nine-track offering, which features no guest appearances, is packed with radio-friendly melodies and laid back vibes. The project includes previously released tracks “Models” and “Bed Springs,” which has an accompanying visual. He even gives us a taste of his iSingHipHop, an alter ego he cites as his “bread and butter.”

In April, Love shared with Rated R&B the stories he wanted to tell on his new EP. “When Love Returns is literally the return of love,” he said. “I haven’t dropped material in a good two or three years because of a situation I was in. I was legally tied to working with other people I didn’t want to work with. I couldn’t blatantly say that to my fans, though. I could only hint that towards them at least at that time.”

He added, “Now, I can say whatever I want. I was just legally bound to people. When Love Returns is just the return of me showing the world that I’ve been working and I’m here to stay. I’m going to give a bunch of different vibes. They’re going to get a little iSingHipHop, which is my hip hop-singing shit.”

Love is currently working on his debut album, which will be released independently. He plans to support the album with a tour.
