“I Can See The Future, I hope, will bring the audience in on what I understand of myself and my own life (past, present and my own future), but it also attempts to present a clear picture of what I believe the world will become outside of me and long after my life ends. I have to believe there is a better world coming, and I really do believe that it is, as long as we maintain our determination to bring it about.” – Leith Ross
15 AUGUST 2025 (TORONTO, ON — Critically-acclaimed Canadian singer, songwriter, and guitarist Leith Ross (They/Them Pronouns) unveils a new single “Stay” out now via Republic Records. The latest offering serves as the third single off their upcoming album, I Can See The Future, out September 19th and produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, producer, and songwriter Rostam. Listen to “Stay” HERE and watch the official music video HERE.
On “Stay,” strains of soft piano and cinematic strings anchor a warm soundscape. Against this backdrop, Leith’s lush and lively vocals instantly transfix. The song picks up the pace on the back of a steady drumbeat, leading towards a heart-wrenching hook, “I’m choosing to believe that you’re gonna stay.”
About the single, Ross commented, “‘Stay’ is a song about actively seeking out and fostering community—learning to lean on human beings, both neighbors, friends, and strangers. It’s about realizing that all our struggles are connected and we must learn to rely on each other, or even more simply, just be with each other and provide for each other. The second half of the song is about the joy you get to experience when you succeed in that endeavor. Love and laughter and shared stories and good food. I hope it inspires you to make somebody dinner, or even just to give them grace.”
“Stay” arrives on the heels of the recently released title track “(I Can See) The Future” and “Grieving,” the first glimpse into Ross’s forthcoming body of work.
In addition to their upcoming new album, Ross will hit the road this fall on their headline “I Can See The Future” Tour across North America. Kicking off with two back-to-back hometown shows at Winnipeg’s The Park Theatre on October 17th and 18th, the tour will run through November and see Ross headline venues such as New York’s Brooklyn Steel on October 29th, Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre on November 18th, and many more. Tickets are on sale now HERE.

ABOUT LEITH ROSS:
Hailing from a small town near Ottawa, Ontario, singer-songwriter Leith Ross (they / them) channels their honest and emotional storytelling through introspective lyrics and a blend of indie folk with alternative and rock sounds. In 2020, they first introduced their artistry and independently released their debut Motherwell EP. Recorded live, it received widespread praise from tastemakers and fans alike. They continued to evolve with their viral singles “I’d Have To Think About It” and “We’ll Never Have Sex,” while also maintaining their momentum with a rising social presence. Signing to Republic Records in 2022 lead to their long awaited debut album To Learn the following year. As with all of their music, the songs on To Learn are deeply personal and take them to vulnerable places, exploring themes like queerness, love, relationships, and mental health and rendered in folk-adjacent tones—sometimes with a pop beat or a rock riff, sometimes with just their voice and their guitar alone. Closing out 2023, they unveiled the deluxe version To Learn, More, including live versions of fan favorites “(You) On My Arm,” “Orlando,” and “To Learn.” Critical acclaim followed from the likes of NME, CLASH, Them., Ones To Watch, and The FADER, who hailed them as “your new obsession.” Beyond tours with Lord Huron, Bahamas, Andy Shauf, and Helena Deland, they sold out headline shows worldwide, performed at festivals across North America, and received the inaugural “John Prine Songwriter Fellowship” at 2022’s Newport Folk Festival and a nomination for “Alternative Album of the Year” at 2024’s Juno Awards. Now, with over 500 million streams across their catalogue to date, they return with their highly anticipated new album I Can See The Future helmed by hit producer Rostam [Vampire Weekend].
