Kevin Ross - 'Don't Pretend'

Kevin Ross is sweeping the Billboard Radio charts on a record-breaking streak as R&B’s most esteemed artist to watch this year. His latest EP 'Midnight Microdose Vol. 1' is a sensuous paradise that fully immerses the listener in a kaleidoscope of wonder. Ross' new acoustic version of the EP’s closing track 'Don’t Pretend' will leave you reeling with heart-racing emotion.

Kevin's acoustic take on 'Don’t Pretend' was filmed in a dreamy, soft-hued bedroom under the sparkle of a big city skyline. Lit in a violet glow of muted elegance, Kevin Ross stuns his audience with a stripped-down version of his earth-shaking closing track.
