Kevin Ross is officially back.
The singer-songwriter has returned with his new single titled “Thing Called Love” — and it was worth the wait.
Over a slow, yet funky production, Ross opens up to his woman about feeling inadequate in their relationship. Although he cares about her, deep down he feels like he is not good enough for her.
“I was never too good at this thing we call love / But if you teach me, I know I can be a better man,” Ross admits on the chorus.
Ross explained the meaning and inspiration behind the song in a press release. “‘Thing Called Love’ is based off of a relationship I was in that I didn’t feel worthy of,” he said. “I felt like she had it all together and I had a lot more to learn about myself. Instead of me breaking it off, I just let it self destruct. You live, you learn, and do better. Sonically, I’ve always been a fan of ’70s music. I wanted to give some nostalgic feels on this record that could be stretched across all ages.”
“Thing Called Love” is the first single from Ross’ upcoming sophomore album, Audacity, which will release later this year via Art Society Music Group/EMPIRE. It will follow his debut album, The Awakening.
Earlier this year, Ross announced his departure from Motown Records.
