In a video shot in the very studio where he recorded his smash hit “I’m Comin’ Over,” Young recorded a video message explaining how he landed on his new label.

“I couldn’t be more excited to tell you that I had 19 years of great work with the Sony team, but I got to be a free agent, so to speak, for the first time and I was shown so much love.” on the day I just signed the documents. The ink isn’t even dry yet and I couldn’t be happier to tell you, “I’m becoming an artist with Black River Entertainment and I’m just really excited for the next chapter,” he said.

He revealed plans to share “so much new music” and promised it would be released “very soon.”

RCA Nashville has been a fantastic home for me since 2006 when Joe Galante hired me to work with the Sony team, but it’s time for my next chapter. I couldn’t be more excited about the new music that’s on the way or my new home. Black River is a great company and they really impressed me with how much they believe in me and my future. I can’t wait to continue building my legacy as a Black River Entertainment artist with them.”

Gordon S. Kerr, President and CEO of Black River, added: “This is a historic day for Black River. With 14 No. 1s under his belt, Chris has left an undeniable mark on country music.
