Kevin George has split from Island Records, just months after signing with the major label. And he's released a new EP to celebrate.

THREE CAN PLAY, AT LOVE arrives this week, marking a new chapter for the Los Angeles-based artist. And it's an impressive four-song project, but the singer acknowledges it follows a rocky period in his life.

"Signing with a major label so early on in my career was the worst decision I’ve made thus far," he says. "From releasing two EPs including my breakout hits 'High Like This' and 'She Don’t Love Me' under my mentor Chris Anokute’s Label, Young Forever, to signing with a big company like Universal all within the same year got the best of me. I let the pressures of a big investment take a toll on my creative and that was my biggest issue. I almost lost my innovative spirit, and started searching for fire in others other than within myself. It changed the way I created music and made me less confident in myself and my own ear. I felt as if I had to compete with my peers rather than sticking to my roots."

He calls this new EP a "back to basics" approach, as he wrote and self-produced it. Hear it below.
