Young will "Kiss To Forget"
Friday, October 25, 2024 – Brett Young is hung up on the one that got away in his sentimental new track "Kiss To Forget," out today via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment.
Written by Young alongside Ashley Gorley, Jon Nite and Jimmy Robbins, the track finds a heartbroken narrator trying to move on with someone new who is perfect on paper. However, no matter how flawless she may seem, the narrator can't seem to shake the memory of and the longing for his former flame.
"'Kiss To Forget' is a song written to the one who got away. Telling her that anybody else he tries to be with, no matter how perfect, just won't work," said Young. "He lost the only person for him, and the best he can do moving forward is to hope to find some kind of distraction from the one he really wants."
"Kiss To Forget" comes off the heels of last month's "Say Less" and "Goodnight Into Good Morning," which was released in July.

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 ...
