INTRO AUDIO FOR “RESCUE ME”


STORY AUDIO FOR “RESCUE ME”
CHRIS YOUNG: “Rescue Me” is one of those songs that kind of fell into my lap. The other four guys that I wrote it with had kind of started the idea. They shot me a short little clip was like, ‘hey, seeing if this something you’d be interested in’ And I was like, ‘absolutely.’ And actually, if you go look at the production credit, part of the reason why it’s me and Mark Holman is a lot of that was from the original track that he built a lot of stuff that he played. And I actually sing that in one of my mics in my little downstairs studio. So when I tell you guys that this song is something that jumped off the page and was really special and made during the whole craziness of the past year and a half, it’s 100% true.

CHRIS YOUNG’S NEW ALBUM – FAMOUS FRIENDS – RELEASING AUGUST 6

Highly anticipated 14-song project features collaborations with Lauren Alaina, Mitchell Tenpenny and Top 5 and rising title track with Kane Brown

Nashville, TN — June 11, 2021 — With nearly five billion career streams and eleven No. 1 singles, multi-platinum entertainer Chris Young is getting ready to release his highly anticipated 8th studio album – Famous Friends – on August 6. Led by the Billboard and Mediabase top 5 and rising title track with Kane Brown, the 14-song project features several more of Chris’s famous friends, including collaborations with Lauren Alaina and Mitchell Tenpenny, plus background vocals from Sarah BuxtonHillary Lindsey and Shay Mooney.  Pre-order/pre-save Chris Young’s upcoming Famous Friends album at https://CY.lnk.to/FamousFriends.

“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,” shared Chris. “There are so many incredibly talented artists, songwriters and producers – all friends of mine – who helped make this album possible. Having friends share their talents as collaborators, songwriters, producers and more, it’s only natural to call the album ‘Famous Friends.’”

In addition to “Raised On Country,” “Drowning,” “Town Ain’t Big Enough” and “ Famous Friends ,” which recently won for CMT Music Awards Collaborative Video of the Year, his new song “Rescue Me,” which Chris first teased on Instagram, can be streamed and downloaded starting today ahead of the album’s release in August.

“I think ‘Rescue Me’ is such a cool twist on the typical love song concept,” said Chris of the song written with Josh Hoge, Mark Holman, Matthew McGinn and Christian Davis Stalnecker, one of 13 tracks he had a hand in writing on the new record. “People were already falling in love with it just based off short social teases. It’s something special and I’m proud to have helped write it and produce it alongside Mark Holman.”

While the album’s final track, “Tonight We’re Dancing,” is produced solely by Chris, continuing the theme of the new record — Famous Friends— he co-produced the remaining 13 of 14 songs along with several more of his famous friends – Corey Crowder, Chris DeStefano and Mark Holman.

“I want people to fall in love with it, blow their speakers listening to it, dance to it, party along with it, cry to it, just live it – and I can’t wait to start playing this new music on the road soon” declared Chris.
