R&B sensation Kevin Ross is setting the tone for 2025 with the announcement of his upcoming project, Love Uptempo, slated for release on March 14 via Art Society Music Group (ASMG)/Empire. To build anticipation, the Grammy-nominated singer releases the new single “Love In The Middle,” a captivating anthem crafted by the Grammy award-winning duo Louis York (Chuck Harmony and Claude Kelly). This feel-good joint masterfully captures the intricate roles of modern relationships, blending an infectious rhythm with Ross’s distinctive vocal prowess to create a perfect equilibrium between love’s highs and lows.
The collaboration between Ross and Louis York proved to be an organic fusion of musical minds, as described by Claude Kelly: “The chemistry was just there immediately.” This natural synergy is evident in the track’s polished production and authentic emotion. Chuck Harmony echoed these sentiments, noting how Ross’s clear artistic vision helped shape “Love In The Middle” into something truly unforgettable.
For Ross himself, Love Uptempo represents more than just a collection of love songs – it’s a meditation on time itself. “Time is the most valuable thing we have,” Ross reflects. He adds, “It’s about time we kill, time we regret, time well spent, and time we forget. Life has its own rhythm, its own tempo, and this project is all about the pace we’re living at.”
Since his breakthrough in 2016, Kevin Ross has consistently proven himself as a formidable force in R&B, both as a performer and behind the scenes. His impressive career includes chart-topping hits like “Long Song Away” and “Looking For Love,” along with songwriting credits for industry titans such as Toni Braxton and Tank. Now, with Love Uptempo, Ross is poised to showcase yet another evolution in his artistry. As the founder of Art Society Music Group since 2019, he’s demonstrated that creative independence only amplifies his ability to craft meaningful, timeless music – a promise that “Love In The Middle” already begins to fulfill.
