3x Grammy-award-winning global country stars Dan and Shay release their sixth studio album, ‘Young‘, delivering important messages which inspire audiences and tug at the core of the heart with wise lyrics and heartwarming melodies.
Since beginning their career in 2013 and 2014, when they gained fame and recognition for their debut ‘19 You + Me‘, and as the years have gone and six albums later the duo still leaves many marks on many hearts with their lyrics filled with passion, love and warmth, creating tracks which will last a lifetime and songs which are always filled with hope and powerful messages which you will take along with you throughout life; they have continued to bring a smile on faces or making you shed a tear through the use of how they craft their inspirational songs.
Co-produced by Smyers alongside longtime collaborator Scott Hendricks, Young follows the duo’s Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney as they’ve navigated a prolific career spanning 13+ years and counting. With several single releases ahead of the album garnering worldwide attention from major outlets such as Billboard, People, and more, Young’s reputation precedes itself, and the album delivers.
Their new album release, ‘Young‘ is no different, but the duo still manages to capture different perspectives on the experiences we face throughout life, exploring themes of falling in love, relationships, the struggles we face in life and the importance of opening up when things get tough. They blend themes which are true to the heart and make it resonate with anyone going through dilemmas or happy experiences in their lives.
With ten heartfelt tracks containing slow-moving and uplifting ballads that can be romantic and bittersweet at the same time, Dan and Shay journey on with their emotional storytelling, creating a poignant atmosphere for listeners. From the devotion they have for their adorable pets inside ‘Dogs In Their Twenties‘ and how much of a loss it is when we lose our childhood pets, whether it is a cat or a dog or even a rabbit, they always make a impact in our lives and the duo resonates with the emotional moment when you feel the grief when you lose that animal which meant alot to you.
Another empowering track which we must talk about is the mental health awareness track ‘Say So‘. While the country duo anticipated their upcoming album ahead of its release by sharing featured tracks such as ‘Marry You Again‘ and ‘Her, The Kids, And Jesus‘, Dan and Shay brought the vital theme of mental health to the forefront inside ‘Say So‘, describing with a moving story on how it can be a tormenting battle suffering with mental health, but they teach everyone to pick up the phone when loved ones are going through something they feel they cannot open up about. It conveys the powerful lesson that anyone who is suffering with mental health has the bravery to open up to a friend, family member or even a therapist. Releasing these inspiring individual tracks on their new album has touched many hearts, and crafting tracks like these proves why this duo are a celebration to this music industry.
