So it really makes me mad when people just look down on country music. And it really makes me so mad because country artists can keep up with any artists in any other genre in ticket sales and things. The biggest thing that I hate is when people say country music is boring. Yeah, and that's another reason I've been doing it - because I'm trying to open more doors.
So, that gives me the freedom to experiment a little bit.ĭo you think that with you pushing those boundaries and experimenting you'll reach a different audience outside of country music? And are you interested in or open to them? I think that's what's different with me - the people who support me know that I'll never actually leave country music. I grew up around all types of music and culture. I feel like a lot of artists don't do it because they feel like they have a certain sound that they have to stay with. I've never been scared to release songs that we want to release. I would say just because I came in looking different, I came in releasing what I wanted. Do you think that you felt like you had a little bit more freedom, because you've taken a different route? So, you've always kind of been outside the box, and this new album pushes the boundaries aurally. You used social media and streaming to kind of get around the traditional systems. The way you broke into country music is interesting. The Drunk Or Dreaming tour includes 25 dates throughout the US, following an international trek throughout Canada, Europe and Australia.īrown spoke with about the upcoming tour, the new album, and pushing boundaries within country music. Just ahead of the release of Different Man, Brown announced a North American tour. Indeed, Different Man is aptly titled Kane is transforming before our ears.

Still, this is the first time we are seeing Brown really push aural boundaries for a full album, infusing traditional country music with elements of hip-hop, rock and R&B. , John Legend and Khalid prove that Brown is well versed in all types of music. Past collaborations with artists including H.E.R. 9 - and this bold blend of genres, as heard on tunes like "Bury Me in Georgia," "See You Like I Do," and "Drunk or Dreamin'," reflects just another enticing chapter in his ongoing evolution. These lines form the ideal clarion call for Different Man, which dropped Sept. "What if I was made for the lights?/ What if I was chosen to write the stories?" "What if I was made for the stage?" goes the exultant chorus. This change also prompted the title track of his new album Different Man, where Brown audibly hits his stride alongside featured artist Blake Shelton. "Grand" is a reflection of where Brown is now both in his career and his personal life, feeling lighter and happier in what we might call the "post-pandemic" era. There and then, he performed his new single "Grand," a hip-hop-heavy declaration of achieving his dreams and living the good life. Kane Brown is a special kind of artist, in that he seemingly can't stop breaking new ground.Īt the 2022 MTV VMAs, he became the first male country artist to take the stage at the ceremony.
