Hailing from LA, singer-songwriter Ross Alan’s latest offering ‘Homesick’ is the first track of their forthcoming five-song EP, Revelation.
‘Homesick’ captures a sense of ambience, with a little country, but mostly pop sounds on the tune. Featuring instruments of acoustic guitar, synth, drums, pro tools, and vocals, this particular track will be turning heads in Ross Alan’s direction.
The song is about realising that you’ve never felt at home before. Ross Alan wrote the song on acoustic guitar and sent it as a vocal demo to their producer in New York, along with a playlist of songs they wanted to sonically emulate. Then, the producer made the instrumental, they fine tuned it, recorded the vocals and sent everything back to the producer to mix and master until it was perfected.
“I always felt out of place growing up. When I was 18, I moved away from Ohio and my family for the first time. Going to college 800 miles away, my first quarter ended for winter break and everyone complained about how they were “Homesick”. I realised I wasn’t and I had never missed Ohio because it never felt like home. How do you navigate life as you blossom into an adult when you don’t know what home is? That’s what the song is about.” – Ross Alan
‘Homesick’ is available on all streaming platforms now.
About Ross Alan
Ross Alan is an LA based, glitter-covered, non-binary pop experience. Described as “undeniable pop with catchy melodies, deep velvety vocals and lyrics that hook into its listeners,” they discovered the most inspired version of themselves in music and made it their home. Their newest singles ‘Blue Skies’ and ‘Control’ are a departure from their recent radio pop sound and brings them into a new refreshing realm of acoustic sentimentality.
They’ve been working for the last decade releasing music and working with producers like Chris Young (known for his work with Christina Aguilera) while performing at venues such as Pete’s Candy Store (NYC), Davenport’s (Chicago), as well as Hotel Café and Whisky A Go Go (Los Angeles).
This self-identified #BalladQueen is set to release their brand-new EP titled, Revelation, due out April 28, 2023 (produced by Jamie McCardle of ‘olderbrother’ and Ivan Fiallos-Zambrano, known for his work with Jason Derulo).
