R&B talent Kevin Ross continues to bless fans with exemplary music as he prepares to release his upcoming project Midnight Microdose. Last month he dropped the lead single “Look My Way.” That soulful, melodic track blended R&B and hip-hop elements and showcased Ross’s extraordinary vocal range and songwriting ability. However, Ross takes it to the bedroom with “Show & Prove” for the follow-up.
The song “Show & Prove” is about Kevin Ross promising to show someone he is worth investing in physically rather than talking about it. He promises to be patient and have a rare connection with the other person that will strengthen over time. He encourages the other person to make the first move. He suggests that if they take a chance on him, he will prove his worth through actions. Ultimately, he urges the other person to not believe what others say but instead to trust him, as he will show and prove his worth.
If the first two singles indicate where Ross is taking his next album, I can’t wait to hear the entire project.
Final Grade: B+
“Show & Prove” is available on all streaming platforms.
One of the great things about buying a soundtrack when I was in my DJ prime was discovering a slow jam that I could put on my mix CDs. For this week’s Slow Jam Saturday, I wanted to highlight one of the songs: Jagged Edge’s cover of Air Supply’s, “All Out of Love.”
After twenty-six years in the game, Atlanta-based quartet Jagged Edge is currently on the road celebrating the anniversary of their magnum opus sophomore album, “J.E. Heartbreak,” with a tour titled “An Intimate Evening With Jagged Edge.” To kick off our seventh wedding anniversary celebration, my wife and I will be the D.C. date on the tour this coming Wednesday.
For this week’s Second Listen Sunday, I wanted to travel back to 1999 and show some love to R&B group Amyth, which was initially signed to LL Cool J Rock the Bells Records. Hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the group was formed in 1995 while the members were students at Southern University.
