Young spreads out "Across the Sheets"

Monday, June 26, 2023 – Brett Young will release "Across The Sheets," an eight-song EP and his fourth studio album on Aug. 4 via BMLG Records.

Young said the title was a recurring theme throughout the lyrics the new songs, inspired by "the person you want to share everything with, the one you lay your head down with every night." Young released the song Back To Jesus," an up-tempo tune about faith and forgiveness and the person that is "an answer to a prayer I never prayed, and now somehow I have everything I never even knew I wanted."

"Across The Sheets" kicks off with Young's single, "Dance With You," which is set to impact Country radio today. "Dance With You" honors his wife, Taylor – "They say, 'life's a dance,' and if that's the truth, I only wanna dance with you."

The album also includes a fresh take on the 1994 classic that inspired Young to pursue a career in country music, Tim McGraw's "Don't Take The Girl" and a re-record of one of the most beloved songs from his hit-filled self-titled debut album, "You Ain't Here to Kiss Me."

"I really dug deep with my writing over the pandemic. 'Across The Sheets' is by far the most adventurous I've ever gotten thematically and lyrically. I hope people hear my evolution as a songwriter and artist because I'm really proud of how much I allowed myself to pull back the curtain and let people see more of my life through my music. We've been playing the new songs on tour and to see how fans have already connected with them is truly special."

CD reviews for Brett Young

CD review - Brett Young & Friends Sing The Christmas Classics Brett Young's Christmas EP is a strange little thing. Like many holiday project creators, Young prefers to look backwards, rather than forward. 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, ...
CD review - Weekends Look a Little Different These Days 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, ...
CD review - Brett Young 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 ...
