Ross Newhouse brings a tender rawness with his new single, “Arms Length”. This is a vulnerable song about unrequited love and bearing the weight of those feelings. Leading up to today’s release, the singer-songwriter had been teasing “Arms Length” on his Instagram to get his followers thinking about the complexities of commitment issues.
Ross knows how paralyzing this experience can be, and this song is a comforting outreach to let you know that this feeling is universal. Newhouse primarily writes from the point of view of the gray areas, exploring voids between heartache and pleasure or joyful love.
“Arms Length” is an catchy tune that will make you ruminate about being lovesick. At some point, we all had that one person we just wanted to hold close, but instead, we could only keep them at arms length. The sorrowful lyrics and raw vocals bring a sense of longing that only a true hopeless romantic could feel. “Arms Length” enjoys sultry and warm production by Kinnship (Naomi Scott, Carmody) and Cole Lumpkin (Cool Company).
Ross Newhouse’s upcoming album I’d Rather Feel the Weight, due out May 15, merges indie-rock guitars and electronic drums with sensitive and heartfelt vocals.
