Review: Chris Young - Neon

My review for Chris Young's new album Neon

Chris Young hasn't had a CD out for three years. But those three years, he has been working hard on touring and working on this new CD called "Neon." And when I got, "Neon," I was really excited. "Tomorrow," his hit single, has already got gold.

I was not surprised by the energy in this new album. Chris can bring it. As he has for the past three years. Actually, before the CD even came out, I got a sneak peak at one of the CDs songs, "Neon." Slow song, but very good.

The CD starts off with the fast track, "I can take it from there." I love this song and I think it's one of my favorite tracks on the album. It's very upbeat, but you would want to stay in the house and just dance to this song. Two bottles of wine don't sound so bad!

"Lost." - Do we really even need the GPS? I mean, really? I think any girl would want to get Lost by just listening to this track with their guy. Forget the GPS and just get Lost in this track!

"Tomorrow," I really don't need to say much about this track. We pretty much already know what it stands for.

"Save Water, Drink Beer." I heard this song for the first time love and just absolutely LOVED it! Another upbeat song that make you want to just, well, HAVE A BEER!

"Neon," If his favorite color is Neon, then I think everyone's favorite color is gonna be Neon. Ok, I'm really joking about that. But I really like the message of the song. Like I said before, I had the chance to preview this song before the rest of the CD came out.

"Old Love Feels New." I didn't know what to think of this song when I first saw the title. Was he trying to get back with an ex? Nah, he's really singing about his grandparent's love in this one. And I just love. Love never gets old. Great song!

"You." Another song I got to hear live before the CD came out. This song is really a BF/GF type of song. At least I think so. But I still enjoy it.

"Flashlight." This song is just so cute you can't help but say "Awwwwwww!!" when you hear it! And when he says, "Thanks old man," at the end of the song, you can't just help but smile. Another favorite song of mine.

"When She's On." Another upbeat song that I really quite enjoy. The funny thing is that Chris DID NOT write this song. Even though he does mention the Texas Longhorns in this song.

"She's Got This Thing About Her." I want this song to be my wedding song now. This is my favorite track on the album and I just love it. The piano and string set during the song are just perfect. Love it. Not to mention that this song made me cry the first time I listened to it.

Well, that's my review for the album! There are two extra songs if you bought the deluxe edition of the CD. So go buy "Neon," now!

Nikki's rating of Neon: 4.5/5
