THE TROUBLE TOUR WRAPS WITH SOLD-OUT DATE IN TORONTO MARCH 6
16 FEBRUARY 2024 (TORONTO, ON) – Today, breakout country singer-songwriter, Josh Ross, announces the forthcoming release of his eagerly anticipated EP Complicated, arriving March 29, 2024, via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company.
Produced by frequent collaborator, Matt Geroux (Trouble, Red Flags, On A Different Night), Complicated arrives as an 8-song collection representing the last couple years of Ross’ life and anecdotes about his personal experiences. The new music cements Ross as a storyteller while leaning towards his signature bold country-rock sound. Reflecting on the project as a whole, Ross says, “Finally! I'm stoked to announce a body of work that showcases lyrically who I am as a person, and me sonically as a creative. Like a lot of country fans, I listen to all types of music. I am drawn to different sounds and production depending on what the emotion of the song calls for, and I think that comes across in this EP. Complicated represents who I’m becoming as an artist, and I’m excited for y’all to hear it March 29th.” The EP is preceded today with the release of the heartfelt breakup song “Matching Tattoos”, alongside lyric video.

“Matching Tattoos” is co-penned by Ross, Joe Fox, Mason Thornley, and Brad Rempel and follows recent two-song pack “Single Again” and “Truck Girl”. Ross’ lyricism delivers an emotional honesty as he sings, “I wonder where you are now / Sometimes I still think of how / We said something bout forever / but what’s that mean at 22? / Cause all that lasted are some matching tattoos.” Of the track, Ross shares, “‘Matching Tattoos’ is very personal to me. It is a song that comes from a real experience I went through a few years ago. I wrote this song on the Nickelback tour this past year and I hope y’all can connect to the emotion of the song as much as I do.”
With no plans to slow down, Complicated marks only the beginning for Ross throughout 2024 as he returns to the stage performing at this year’s 2024 JUNO Awards in Halifax (March 24) where he is also nominated for JUNO FAN CHOICE.
