[ATLANTA, GA - September 16, 2019] R&B singer, songwriter and producer Kevin Ross ends his two year musical hiatus with the release of his first single through his newly formed label imprint, Art Society Music Group. Written and produced by Ross (with co-production from frequent collaborator Jerren “J-Kits” Spruill), “Thing Called Love” is a gut-wrenching, funk-inspired tale that expresses the inadequacies a man feels while in a relationship with a woman.

“"Thing Called Love" is based off of a relationship I was in that I didn't feel worthy of. I felt like she had it all together and I had a lot more to learn about myself.“ Ross explains. “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 70's music. I wanted to give some nostalgic feels on this record that could be stretched across all ages.”

Earlier this year, Ross announced his departure from his long-time label home, Motown Records, and the formation of his independent label Art Society Music Group. Following his departure, he secured a multi-year distribution partnership with independent music powerhouse, EMPIRE. Ghazi Shami, Founder and CEO of EMPIRE, said of Ross’ signing “Kevin is a talented and versatile singer/songwriter. We’re excited to welcome him to EMPIRE as he continues to craft timeless R&B music.” “Thing Called Love” is Ross’ first offering from his highly-anticipated sophomore album Audacity, which is scheduled for release by the end of 2019.
