Brett Young has announced the release of his first-ever Christmas album ‘Brett Young & Friends Sing The Christmas Classics’ on 22nd October 2021.
Released via BMLG Records, the album features collaborations with Colbie Caillat, Sam Fischer, Dann Huff, Darius Rucker, Maddie & Tae, Chris Tomlin and Phil Wickham. The 8-track collection’s first single is ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ featuring Sam Fischer, which is out now.
Young and producer Noah Needleman tapped into a suave, jazzy production throughout the projectĀ after getting in the spirit withĀ Youngās ‘Silver Bells’ last year.
āIāve always known that I wanted to make a Christmas album one day, it was just a matter of figuring out how I could do something a little bit different. We tapped into an old school, lo-fi sound with ‘Silver Bells,ā and knew we had the blueprint for a full album. It means the world that so many incredible artists who I respect were open to singing with me on the projectā¦ we donāt take the title āBrett Young and Friends’ lightly!āĀ
Later this year, Young will bring the album’s soulful stylings and must-see duets to US television with ‘CMT Crossroads Christmas: Brett Young & Friends’.
