If you’ve ever wanted to two-step under a disco ball while contemplating the state of the world… Ross Alan has you covered.
Following the career-setting high of their October 2025 single “Cry Again,” Ross Alan is back with “Loveland (feat. Lisa Gumm)” - the second single from their upcoming 11-track summer LP. And this one? It doesn’t just raise the stakes. It builds an entirely new world and hands you a VIP pass.
Co-produced by Taylor Morrow (of PureGoldBaby), “Loveland” is what happens when country storytelling slips on platform heels and struts straight into a glitter-soaked disco. There’s heart in the lyrics, steel in the rhythm, and just enough dance-floor electricity to make you forget you’re technically processing feelings. The fusion works because it shouldn’t, rooted instrumentation meets hard-hitting beats, and somehow it feels inevitable. Then there’s the feature.
Lisa Gumm doesn’t just appear on the track, she launches. Her voice weaves into Ross Alan’s with that kind of chemistry you can’t fake. Together, they don’t just sing about Loveland, they sell it. You can see it. Sunshine dancing. Gorgeous sunsets. That soft-focus, bokeh-lit glow that feels like a memory you haven’t made yet.
The accompanying music video, directed by Dirk Fenstermacher, leans all the way in. It’s dreamy without being distant, intimate without losing scale. Ross and Lisa share heart-eyed glances at this metaphorical place they’ve created, a world where love isn’t naive, it’s necessary. But don’t mistake the glitter for escapism.
Ross Alan has always been emotionally transparent, and “Loveland” carries a message under the shimmer. In their own words, the song is a reminder that we are all from the same place. At a time when abuse of power and political division feel exhausting and constant, “Loveland” pushes back, not with rage, but with radical empathy. It asks us to look at each other differently. To listen. To start at zero again. To walk a mile in each other’s platform heels.
It’s protest wrapped in celebration. Unity disguised as a dance anthem.
Backseat Mafia Magazine has already praised Ross Alan’s versatility, noting they’ve proven themselves as a talented musician with a long career ahead. Flex Magazine called them passionate and sincere, the kind of artist who lingers long after the first listen. “Loveland” makes those statements feel understated.
For those just tuning in: Ross Alan is a sparkly, queer, emotional musical experience in motion. Over the past decade, they’ve evolved steadily, from radio-leaning pop into something more rooted, more authentic, and now fully stepping into this bold country-disco era. Their 2023 EP Revelation marked the pivot. This upcoming LP feels like the arrival.
And there’s more on the horizon.
This is just the second single from the 11-track album dropping this summer. New merch is on the way. A tour is being planned around the record. And if you’re in Los Angeles, February and March are packed with multiple live shows across the city where you can witness this Loveland energy in real time.
Because that’s the thing about Ross Alan: the records are vibrant, but the live performances? They’re immersive. You don’t just hear the music. You step inside it.
“Loveland” feels like the start of something bigger than a single. It’s a statement. A dance floor with a conscience. A reminder that joy and justice don’t have to live on opposite ends of the spectrum.
