A New Chapter With I Didn’t Come Here To Leave
Released earlier this year, I Didn’t Come Here To Leave marks a fresh chapter in Young’s career. The 14-track album includes 11 co writes and finds him reconnecting with the deep baritone sound that has long defined his voice, while also embracing the energy of his live performances. Young co produced the record alongside Andy Sheridan, bringing an old school live band approach into the studio.
Reflecting on his journey, Young shared, “It’s wild to step back and see a really long list of things I’ve gotten to do already. … But I didn’t come here to leave.”
