Young will release a new version of his song, "You Ain't Here To Kiss Me," (BMLG records) on Dec. 2. Young wrote the song alongside Tiffany Goss and Matt Alderman, with Dann Huff producing both the original and upcoming new version. The new version offers stripped-down production.
"I can be a very emotional songwriter and, for some reason, the sad, reflective songs, often come naturally for me," Young said. "The song is a true story about a situation my now wife and I had many years back - it just describes the feeling of missing someone and seeing everyone else around you in happy relationships. Dann Huff has been wanting to cut a new version of it for a while so we thought the timing was right to give it a bit of a new life around this coming New Year."

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 ...
