It’s been nearly four years since Chris Young released his last album, Losing Sleep, and he’s been teasing new music in the works for quite a while. Now, it’s official: The singer’s next album, Famous Friends, will arrive this summer.
Chris' next album is due out on August 6, and takes its name from his top-five hit duet with Kane Brown. It's no accident that that's the title track, the singer tells People.
"This song has really made a name for itself with how much people love it. Going into the album launch right here in the heat of the summer with a song that's becoming one of the songs of the summer, it made a lot of sense to call this Famous Friends," he explains.
"It's been so long that I've been talking about all the stuff that I did in the past year and a half, and I think people at one point thought I was just messing with them a little bit," Chris acknowledges of the album's slow rollout. "They were like, 'Do you actually have an album coming out?' But it's so exciting to have this information out there."
