With an undeniable string of hits to start his career, BMLG Records’ Brett Young has already cemented his status as country’s master over matters of the heart. But after two albums defined by a transcendent romantic spark, the multi-Platinum star now broadens his emotional scope.
Released on June 4 and featuring eight bigger-picture anthems, Young’s third album finds this modern-country crooner singing a new tune. “This is the most glaringly different stage of life that I’ve experienced,” Young says of Weekends Look a Little Different These Days. “And I think this collection is a really clear picture of where I’m at – not only in life, but as a songwriter as well.”

But now, with his family growing and his role at home changing, the music is following suit. That emotional x-ray vision Young used to zero in on all-consuming passion? It’s now been turned toward life’s full-circle journey, while still revolving around the romance he does best. “I’m always just writing what I’m living,” he says. “But this was a really significant chapter. I had to dig a little deeper.”
Working again with producer Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Thomas Rhett), Young dials in his smooth-as-silk sound on Weekends Look a Little Different These Days, adding tasteful progressive touches to a timeless, acoustic-pop foundation. And that chart-topping vocal has never felt so free.
Years in the making, the project started with “Lady,” a PLATINUM-certified Number One expressing his wife’s amazing grace – and his hopes for their first daughter, Presley. The gentle sway of a lullaby matched a father’s pride, and its from-the-heart success set the stage for more of the same.
Reflective tracks like “Weekends Look a Little Different These Days,” “This” and “Dear Me” pull on the same thematic thread, pairing personal growth and emotional fluency as golden-hour anthems. Each finds Young looking back on the man he was – and forward with excitement.
