Music review: Brett Young – 无毛视频楾icket to L.A.无毛视频�
Inspired by his hometown, Brett Young无毛视频檚 latest album seamlessly blends a laid-back SoCal vibe with the down-home charm of Nashville on 无毛视频淭icket to L.A.无毛视频�
The follow-up to Young无毛视频檚 self-titled 2017 debut that featured four No. 1 singles serves as a natural continuation of the rising country artist无毛视频檚 talent and maturity.聽
The California native无毛视频檚 sophomore effort is poised to be Young无毛视频檚 breakthrough release on the strength of well-crafted arrangements that strike an emotional chord with their simplistic and heartfelt stories about life and love.
Debuting at No. 1 on Billboard无毛视频檚 Top Country Albums chart, Young co-wrote 10 of the 13 tracks on the new release and demonstrates why he was named the 2018 Academy of Country Music New Male Vocalist of the Year.
The title track opens the album by dishing the details about a chance encounter at an airport during a weather delay and falling head-over-heels in love after just a few hours of casual conversation.
The album无毛视频檚 first single, 无毛视频淗ere Tonight,无毛视频� is a charming love song with Justin Ebach, Ben Caver and Lady Antebellum无毛视频檚 Charles Kelley sharing the writing credits with Young as he declares, 无毛视频溛廾悠禈Cause I don无毛视频檛 wanna go if you don无毛视频檛 wanna go/We can just stay here in this minute/Lose all track of time/Let the world spin on without us for a while.无毛视频�
Clever tracks like 无毛视频淐atch无毛视频� and 无毛视频淐hange Your Name无毛视频� capture the first feelings of a budding romance after flirtation leads to a life-changing moment when you realize that you can无毛视频檛 live without someone. Hearts are certain to melt as Young sings, 无毛视频淲hen you see somebody/Who erases everybody in the room/I don无毛视频檛 know what to say, I don无毛视频檛 know what to do/That无毛视频檚 what you did to me when I saw you.无毛视频�
Young takes a reflective look back at his life through the years with 无毛视频淐hapters.无毛视频� The 37-year-old is joined by Gavin DeGraw on this life song that examines the stories that make up the different chapters of life and the lessons learned.
The set comes to a moving close with 无毛视频淒on无毛视频檛 Wanna Write This Song,无毛视频� a heartbreaking piano ballad that conveys the devastation and isolation felt after love suddenly dies and the struggle to let go and move forward.
Young will join Kelsea Ballerini on tour with a local appearance in Erie on April 13 at Erie Insurance Arena.
