Brett Young just announced his new holiday album Brett Young & Friends Sing The Christmas Classics, which will be out on October 22.

The project will include duets with Darius Rucker, Colbie Caillat, Sam Fischer, Dann Huff, Maddie & Tae, Chris Tomlin, and Phil Wickham. The project features eight songs.

In addition, Brett will bring the album to television with “CMT Crossroads Christmas: Brett Young & Friends.” More details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Young says, “I’ve always known that I wanted to make a Christmas album one day, it was just a matter of figuring out how I could do something a little bit different. We tapped into an old school, lo-fi sound with 'Silver Bells,’ and knew we had the blueprint for a full album."

He added, "It means the world that so many incredible artists who I respect were open to singing with me on the project… we don’t take the title ‘Brett Young and Friends' lightly!”
