‘Young Love & Saturday Nights’ finds the singer expanding the scope of his music.

Key to any artist’s career progression is a keen sense of knowing what elements of their sound and style require evolution and exploration, but also which should remain constant., out Friday via his longtime label home RCA Records Nashville, the 38-year-old singer-songwriter surveyed his life, personally and professionally, and set about making a series of changes. He switched management companies,.

“We did a full day of just listening to songs from multiple publishers. This one started and I’m like, ‘This is “Rebel, Rebel.” I would never recut that song,’” Young recalls. “They were like, ‘Hold on, we got something coming.’ When I heard the whole song, I loved it. It’s been so much fun to play this at shows and I think it’s something so many people can relate to. Now I got a David Bowie cut on my record, so that’s pretty cool.

Elsewhere, on “Everybody Grew Up,” he muses how even though he and all his buddies have matured and traded cutting class for mowing the grass and other adult responsibilities, those youthful memories of small-town childhood are never far away. “All Dogs Go to Heaven,” which Young wrote with Crowder and Cale Dodds, centers around what he imagines heaven will be like for man’s best friend.

“That one was sort of what people expect to be my wheelhouse and you gotta do those, right?” he says of “Call It a Day.” “I got to play around a bit vocally on that one so it was fun.”making country forays and a batch of newcomers chasing the stripped-back, rock-fused sound of Zach Bryan, Young simply focuses on bettering what he does best.
