Canadian country singer-songwriter, Josh Ross, sets the tone for 2024 releasing two compelling tracks, “Single Again” and “Truck Girl” out today via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. These songs intricately weave personal narratives and relatable experiences showcasing Ross’ own journey in life and music. Both tracks were produced by frequent collaborator, Matt Geroux (Red Flags, Trouble, First Taste of Gone, On A Different Night).

Ross says, “I wanted to kick-off 2024 with two songs that I feel highlight the two different sides of me as a person. These songs are based on real-life situations I feel people can relate to as well as personal experiences I’ve had.”

 

Focus track, “Single Again” explores specific moments in time, with Ross sharing a personal anecdote of an unexpected encounter. “‘Single Again’ leans into how timing can sometimes be everything. I ran into my high school crush at a bar and wanted to buy her a drink. She let me know she had a boyfriend and I remember saying ‘well let me know if you’re ever single again’.”

 

On the emotional front, “Truck Girl” delves into the intense feelings associated with a love lost. Ross reflects on the song, “’Truck Girl’ is about realizing and processing the raw emotion that comes from having that person you thought could be your forever, walk away for good.” 

 

These releases offer a glimpse into forthcoming music, and Ross is eager to connect with fans and bring his fresh sound both on and off stage, “I’m stoked to share these two songs with a promise for lots of new music this year.”

 

In addition to the two-song pack release, Ross returns to the stage with his debut headline tour across Canada, THE TROUBLE TOUR kicking off in Winnipeg today and stops in Toronto next month March 6 at History. After previously joining Bailey Zimmerman as special guest on a run of shows last year, Ross will support Zimmerman on RELIGIOUSLY. THE TOUR and will perform various festivals including Stagecoach.

With over 260 million streams worldwide, Ross continues to carve out his place in Country music on both sides of the border.
