Kevin Ross releases a new video for Billboard-charting single “Look My Way”! Influenced by The Jackson 5, “Look My Way” blends Kevin Ross’ contemporary charm with classic flair. The visuals further highlight the experience of being infatuated with an unattainable love interest – a universal feeling of pursuing someone who always seems out of reach. Playful, cheeky, and innocent, Kevin Ross taps into the core emotions that define “the chase” associated with young love.

As the video follows Kevin Ross through his neighborhood, he continually encounters the object of his affection but is unable to catch her before she disappears. The most captivating moment occurs when the two finally meet in an elevator, and they simultaneously ask “Would you like to grab coffee sometime?” This serendipitous moment is followed by Kevin Ross’ triumphant chorus bursting with elegant rhythmics and bold vocals.

Record-breaking artist and creator of his own record label, Art Society Music Group (ASMG), Kevin Ross continues to pave the way for other independent artists to follow. With more than 100 million streams across platforms, multiple Billboard charting songs, and a rich musical presence across film and TV, Ross continues to shape the current landscape of R&B.

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.

At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.

Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.

Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.

Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
