Writers, Release Date Revealed For Brett Young’s Sophomore Album ‘Ticket To L.A.’

The second album from BMLG Records artist Brett Young, titled Ticket To L.A., will release Dec. 7.

The album follows Young’s startling accomplishments since his debut album released in 2017. He’s earned four consecutive Platinum-certified No. 1 singles, one 3x-Platinum single, and earned an ACM for New Male Vocalist of the Year.

“It’s been four-and-a-half years that I’ve been in Nashville,” says the chart-topping Southern California native. “A lot has happened, the first record has been really good to me and I’m really, really proud of it. But just having a new batch of songs – it’s like breathing new life almost.”

Young worked once again with producer Dann Huff, executive producer and label executive Jimmy Harnen and engineer/mixer Justin Niebank on Ticket To L.A., where he continues to mix his SoCal soul with country.

“I decided to name the album Ticket To L.A. because flying home to Los Angeles has become such a big part of my life,” Young explains. “A lot of the first record reflected a kind of hard point in my life when I was moving from Los Angeles to Nashville, but I’m in a completely different place now. I’m so happy, and I think you can really hear that shift on the new record.”

Young collaborates with one of his musical idols, Gavin DeGraw, on “Chapters” while expressing personal sentiments co-writing 10 of the album’s tracks alongside Shane McAnally, Hillary Lindsey, Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley and more.
