Young's "You Didn't" video drops
Directed by Seth Kupersmith ("Mercy," "Catch, "Lady" and "Not Yet), the pair conceptualized the clips for Young's latest track infusing visuals and details throughout the painful journey of unrequited love. Young is on-screen with his co-star and wife Taylor Mills Young as he immerses himself in the memories of an unraveling relationship.
"The cool thing about this video is that it lets you in on how the narrator is actually feeling, as opposed to how he's presented in the song," Young said. "He is saying all the right things so his girl doesn't feel guilty, but then the video sheds light on how much of that is a lie and how deeply he's actually struggling. As always, Seth delivered beyond my wildest expectations, and it's never a bad day when you get to work alongside your beautiful wife."
Young and Cuppersmith also conducted a chat about the video.

Hence the phrase 'Christmas Classics' in the album title. Nostalgia is always huge in country music, so this approach makes some sense. Therefore, this release is one that may cause you to travel with Scrooge back to various Christmases from the past. You also might come away feeling decidedly Scrooge-y about it.
It's strange, however, ...
It's troubling after listening to an album multiple times in a row, to not have even one song stick in one's memory. However, this is an honest initial response to Brett Young's "Weekends Look A Little Different These Days." It's not so much that the music on Young's eight-song effort is bad; it's just so utterly unremarkable.
Appreciation of Young's music rises and falls with what you think about his singing style. He sounds a little like Gary LeVox, ...
Brett Young had a hit out of the box with "Sleep Without You," as ear candy of a song. His soulful vocals carry the percolating song that seemed designed with airplay in mind. If Young were a band, this is the type of song that Rascal Flatts might cover. In fact, the airplay bent could be said of most of the dozen songs on the Californian's major label debut after five indie releases.
"Close Enough" has a funky side, trying to get the singalong going with the opening ...
