Josh Ross Slates Debut LP ‘Later Tonight’ For September

/by

Josh Ross will release his full-length debut album Later Tonight on Sept. 19 via MCA/Mercury Nashville/ Universal Music Canada/CORE Records. In conjunction with the announcement, the reigning CCMA Entertainer of the Year has released the title track of the album now.

Produced by longtime collaborator Matt Geroux, (who also helmed Ross’s EP Complicated), the 15-track collection features his No. 2-and-climbing single “Single Again,” along with early releases “Hate How You Look” and “Leave Me Too.” Writers contributing to the project include Ben Stennis, John Morgan, Michael Tyler, Brad Rempel and more.

“The title of this record, and the title track, became the thread that tied this project together over the last couple of years,” Ross says. “Every single we put out, every show we’ve played has led to this. We dug deep writing for this album, leaning into getting caught in your feelings, breaking up, making up. No matter what, all roads led back to Later Tonight.”

Earlier this week, Ross earned six CCMA nominations, tying with Cameron Whitcomb as this year’s most-nominated artist. He received nods for Fans’ Choice Award presented by Bud Light, Male Artist of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, Video of the Year, Single of the Year and Musical Collaboration of the Year.

Ross recently wrapped as support for Jelly Roll on “The Beautifully Broken Great Northern Tour” across Canada, and will play a slew of fairs and festivals through the end of the summer, then open select dates for Dylan Scott this fall.
