Nearly seven years after the release of her 2008 album “The Promise,” Deborah Cox is making her return to music as she adds the finishing touches to her forthcoming album, entitled “Work Of Art.”
In anticipation of the summer 2015 project, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter this week released her new upbeat, danced-infused single, “Kinda Miss You,” produced by The Rascals. And in addition to celebrating the recent success of Lifetime’s Whitney Houston biopic, “I Will Always Love You: The Whitney Houston Story,” Cox is also commemorating the 20-year anniversary of her 1995 self-titled debut album.
In a conversation with The Huffington Post, Cox shared her thoughts on recording “Kinda Miss You,” her reaction to the success of Lifetime’s Whitney Houston biopic, and why it’s difficult to explain America’s ongoing issues surrounding police relations to her 11-year-old son.

Has he expressed any concern to you about his safety?
When he saw the news in the height of it over the holidays, he’d ask a lot of questions like, “Why is that happening?” and “Why did police shoot a 12-year-old?” Because I’m sure he’s looking at the TV like, “Wow, that could’ve been me.” I think the issue that needs to be addressed really is that these police officers are really over-using their authority. And it’s just really hard to explain that kind of activity to a child. My son is still trying to grasp what he’s looking at on the television. It’s just a tough place to be … it absolutely has to change now.
