Ross the Piano Man delivers Retro Pop delight with “Express Delivery”
Welsh pianist, singer-songwriter, and globe-trotting entertainer Ross the Piano Man strikes gold once again with his new single Express Delivery — a gleaming, retro-sounding pop number bursting with playful charm and infectious energy. Long known for his magnetic live performances aboard Royal Caribbean Cruises and beyond, Ross brings that same spirited showmanship to this studio track, and the result is nothing short of irresistible.
From the moment the first piano chords play out, Express Delivery feels like a burst of sunshine. It’s bright, vibrant, and upbeat, immediately evoking the carefree feeling of mid-century pop with a modern wink. There’s a breezy quality to the rhythm, one that invites listeners to sway along whether they’re in a crowded club, a car on the coast, or just at home with the volume cranked.
At the heart of it all are Ross’s vocals, light and airy with just enough emotion to keep things from floating away entirely. His voice glides effortlessly over the jaunty instrumentation, managing to sound both polished and joyful. It’s an endearing performance, like a lounge singer with heart or a crooner who’s let his hair down.
Instrumentally speaking, Express Delivery is a masterclass in simplicity too! The piano work is predictably stellar, with Ross’s nimble fingers bouncing through buoyant runs and cheeky flourishes. Behind him, a subtly layered backdrop of melody and percussion provides just enough color to elevate the arrangement without overshadowing the star of the show. It’s a clean and confident production that lets each element breathe.
There’s a timeless quality to it — nodding to vintage pop traditions while feeling thoroughly modern in its pacing and delivery. It’s the kind of tune that sounds equally at home on a retro diner jukebox or a curated indie playlist.
It captures the feel-good spirit of his live shows (we can imagine) while offering a polished studio moment that’s destined to become a repeat listen. It’s no small feat to make something this easygoing feel so effortlessly executed, and Ross makes it look and sound like second nature.
