JOSH ROSS DEBUTS LATER TONIGHT

FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM OUT NOW

LISTEN HERE

TAKES NASHVILLE BY STORM WITH SERIES OF APPEARANCES TODAY

EARNED SECOND CONSECUTIVE CCMA ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR + SINGLE OF THE YEAR AWARDS AMONG OTHERS LAST WEEKEND

NASHVILLE, TN - September 19, 2025 - Today, global country force Josh Ross released his highly anticipated full-length debut album Later Tonight, via MCA / Mercury Nashville / Universal Music Canada / CORE Records. Listen HERE.

Produced by longtime collaborator Matt Geroux who also helmed Ross's JUNO Award-winning EP Complicated, the 15-track collection doubles down on the emotive, rock-tinged country that has defined his world-dominating ascent.

The album includes standout tracks like Ross' most-added new country radio single "Hate How You Look," first-ever U.S. country #1 "Single Again," Akon collaboration "Drunk Right Now (Na Na Na)," recently released title track "Later Tonight," and more.

"I'm ready to have this album out in the world," Ross says. "I moved to Nashville 7 years ago, and have been working towards this moment long before that. I'm proud of what this album turned out to be; it took a lot of living to make it, and I hope that every person that listens to it finds a song or a situation that they can relate to."

"The title of this record, and the title track, became the thread that tied this project together over the last couple of years," Ross shared in July upon announcing the album. "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.'"
