Chris Young‘s album Famous Friends is available now!

Chris says, “I know I’ve said it before, but I honestly can’t say it enough – I am so excited to be releasing my new album.” 

The title of his 8th studio album shares the same name as his hit song with Kane Brown, and it turns out there will be more famous friends on Famous Friends. The new project will include his collaborations with Kane, Lauren Alania, and Mitchell Tenpenny – as well as tracks featuring background vocals from Sarah Buxton, Hillary Lindsey and Dan + Shay‘s Shay Mooney.

Having all those people and many more working behind the scenes made Chris realize the perfect name for his new project, “Basically, when we were having the conversation of what do you want to call this album? I was like ‘Well, you know there’s more quest appearances than I’ve ever had on one project before that’s been a release for me…if you go down you look at Lauren Alaina, Kane (Brown), and then obviously Mitchell Tenpenny on ‘At The End Of A Bar,’ which is another song on the record.”

Chris adds, “From producers to writers to players- there’s so many different people that got involved with this – whether they’re well known to the outside world or whether they’re well known within the circle of, like, Nashville songwriters and, Nashville musicians and I was like that’s kind of a cool way to talk about that this record really is a culmination of all the people I’ve met and run into and everybody during the craziness that’s been the past year and a half kind of putting their arms around this project and me putting my arms around them and huddling up and go ‘Ok, let’s make some great music.'”
