Info for I Can See The Future

Leith Ross takes the audience on a journey into their own life (past, present and future) to paint a picture of what they believe the world will become outside of themselves, even long after their life ends. Leith collaborated with Rostam on their sophomore album, I Can See The Future, featuring the singles, “Grieving” and “(I Can See) The Future.”

The Winnipeg-based artist, Leith Ross, first made waves in the indie scene with their 2022 viral hit, “We’ll Never Have Sex.” Known for their introspective lyricism and acoustic production, Ross rightfully gained a dedicated audience following the single, who embraced their first studio album, To Learn, with open arms. Their second studio album, I Can See The Future, is being released on September 19, 2025, followed by a North American tour this fall.

“I’m never not going to write a coming-of-age record. Whether that age be 27, 35, [or] 52. I'm always gonna be writing about some coming-of-age.” Ross shared when asked about the comparison in style between To Learn and the upcoming record. Emotion and vulnerability fill Ross’ music, with songs that explore the unanswerable questions of romance, individualism, and life itself. This concept should be expected to only develop and flourish in the new album, as existential as ever.

I Can See The Future’s title is reminiscent of the final song on the record, “(I Can See) The Future.” Ross described the track as the outlier, having “Grieving” and “Grieving- Reprise” start and end the main tracklist of the album. However, the track is also the “beating heart” of the work, according to the artist, encompassing the album’s themes of hope and community as a whole. After the main part of the album concludes, listeners are left with an experimental song of hope for the future and finding peace in others' lives that will flourish long after we are all gone.

The title track is written from the perspective of someone in the distant future, documenting the beauty that Ross dreams lies ahead for our planet. The record explores both these feelings of joy and hope present here, while countering them with grief and desperation. “Stay,” the last single before the record’s release, gives listeners a glimpse into the more somber aspects of the album. The song navigates the complexities of learning to be your own friend while also contributing to your community. Without community, we are simply alone; however, you must also learn the importance of solitude.

Sonically, I Can See The Future consists of more “sparkly” beats and rapid synth, a direct result of Ross’s collaboration with Rostam, the producer behind Clairo’s Immunity and HAIM’s I Quit. In “(I Can See) The Future,” backing vocals from Dijon add depth to the already vivid imagery of the lyrics and electric production. While the acoustic and quietness of Ross’ older work are still present on the record, the artist’s new approach to sound is fresh and welcoming.

"This storytelling is bound together by an eclectic mix of sonics, ranging from country to soft pop to even the odd hint of jazz. Take a song like ‘Terrified’ as an example, which ends with a section of invigorating, soaring vocals akin to Billie Eilish’s ‘Birds of a Feather’. Then compare that to something like ‘What Are You Thinking About’, which wouldn’t be entirely amiss playing in a jazz cafe on a rainy day. On paper, that shouldn’t really work, but it’s almost as if you’re already too carried away down the river of relaxation to really care." (Lauren Hunter, faroutmagazine.co.uk)

Leith Ross

Leith Ross
is a singer-songwriter and performing artist born and raised in the outskirts of Ottawa, Ontario. Struck by a culmination of inspiration sourced from their celtic roots, and potentially the Highschool Musical series, Leith Ross became a vessel for their very own distinctive musical style. As a young person, songwriting quickly became Leith’s most dependable method of processing their identity and lived experiences. Like a metaphorical beating heart on a sleeve, Ross’ music is raw, vulnerable and often received with a deep sense of catharsis. Leith Ross’s debut EP Motherwell is an incredibly honest and intimate collection of songs.

The music was inspired by their own coming of age story, and written in hopes of providing the soundtrack to a shaping moment for someone else. Motherwell was humbly recorded live off the floor in one afternoon with college mates, and released in October 2020 on Birthday Cake.

This album contains no booklet.
