R&B newcomer Kevin “KC” Cossom is attempting to make the transition from life behind-the-scenes as a songwriter to being in front of the camera as an artist (he wrote R. Kelly’s hook on Young Jeezy’s “Go Getter”), and makes quite an impression with the release of his EP “PreAlbum.” Signed to hit-making producer Nate “Danja” Hill’s imprint, New Age Rock Stars (N.A.R.S.), Cossom provides listeners a glimpse of what he plans to offer as a singer-songwriter. With its palatable use of the auto-tune sound and grown-and-sexy vibe, “Late Night” can easily find itself in the rotation of many radio programmers’ playlists, as well as the bedrooms of lovers alike. “My Ex” not only features a verse from Rick Ross but also mesmerizing synthesizers that would make any snake charmer proud. Despite being opposite in tempo, “You Know What You Doin’” and “Hang That Over My Head” shows why Cossom’s number is dialed when artists need a record written. Although “PreAlbum” is only eight songs—including an intro and two interviews—it’s enough to satisfy the ear until KC drops the major label debut, which hopefully comes out sooner than later.
