Paul Young is the seventh solo studio album by English singer Paul Young, released in May 1997 on East West Records.

[1] It displays a stronger country influence than his previous albums[2] and saw significantly more songwriting input from Young than on his previous albums, with eight of the twelve tracks being co-written by him.

The album and lead single "I Wish You Love" both charted inside the UK top 40.

The album instrumentation was found to sound more akin to a Garth Brooks album than the output Young was best known for.

Despite saying the album potentially had "all the ingredients for a first-class disaster" the review rated the album as "good" and awarded it a score of 3 out of 5.
