Brett Young is the first EP from American country music singer Brett Young. Released on 12 February 2016,[1] the album was produced by Dann Huff.[2] The EP features the single, "Sleep Without You".[3]
Young's team describes the artist's sound as "Caliville", "an intersection of his Southern California upbringing and his passion for Nashville".[4]
Although Young did not plan to release an EP prior to his full-length album, after "Sleep Without You" was published, Young knew that he must distribute his music to fans as soon as possible.[5] [6]
Timothy Monger of AllMusic says "the smoky-voiced singer offers up six warm, romantic cuts that showcase his earthy charm."
Taste of Country states that Young "mixes soul, R&B and country in a way that fits neatly between any two songs you hear on the radio now", comparing the artist to Lee Brice and Jack Johnson.[7]
Stage Right Secrets states that each song is "strategically [placed]" and that "The song order mainly focuses on the emotional rollercoaster you go through when you are in a relationship".[8]
