Pam Ross Brings Heartache and Hope in Her New Single, “Kansas”
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Pam Ross, just won Female Multi-Genre Artist of the Year at the 2024 Josie Music Awards, released her powerful new single ‘Kansas’ on November 15th. Distributed by MTS Records and Virgin Music/Universal, this latest release is a preview of her upcoming album, ‘Outside the Box’, which will be dropping next year. With its infectious melodies and emotional depth, “Kansas” reaffirms why Pam remains one of the most exciting voices to watch in the indie rock scene.
‘Kansas’ hooks listeners with a catchy yet haunting melody that’s reminiscent of the classic pop-rock vibes of the late '90s, drawing comparisons to iconic bands like Texas. The song thoroughly explores the feelings of heartbreak and that longing to escape painful memories. The lyrics are powerful and they’re combined with atmospheric soundscapes that invite listeners to feel what she’s feeling. There’s this line—“Maybe I should go to Kansas and scream out your name in an empty field”—that just hits you, showing how she captures the burning need to be alone to let it all out.
Pam opened up about how “Kansas” came to be and it happens to be very personal. She wrote it during a time when she was figuring things out for herself while living in Seabrook, Texas, right on Galveston Bay. The song is truly about the need to get away after a breakup, to find some kind of peace in a place where no one knows you. She said she remembered a road trip she took through Kansas years ago, and how she drove for miles and saw nothing but empty fields. That image ended up being perfect for the song, capturing what it’s like to try to move past a tough time and find a way to move forward.
With “Kansas,” Pam took her own experiences and turned them into songs that everyone can relate to. The single has this timeless sound and the kind of heartfelt lyrics that just stay with you. As anticipation builds for the release of ‘Outside the Box’, she continues to prove why she’s a celebrated artist as she creates music that’s both deep and accessible. ‘Kansas’ is a track destined to be both a playlist favorite and a powerful testament to the healing journey of the human spirit.
