New album set for release on Sept 9th
Global entertainer Kane Brown has announced his highly-anticipated third studio album, Different Man, is set to be released September 9th via Sony Music Nashville. The 5X AMA award-winning artist and Time100 honoree confirmed the news this morning (Mon, July 18th), partnering with CMT to become the first artist ever to reveal his official album cover on Paramount’s Times Square Billboard. The fan-selected album cover for Different Man was one of two options Brown released to his fans earlier last week on his Instagram, asking for them to pick their favorite option.
The album will feature a total of 17 songs, including his current Top-5-and climbing hit single “Like I Love Country Music,” his co-produced track, “Whiskey Sour,” his No. 1 hit, “One Mississippi,” “Leave You Alone,” and the new single, “Grand,” set to be released Friday, July 22nd. Additionally, the album will include 12 additional yet to be revealed songs.
Brown’s third full-length studio album is the follow up to his No. 1 Billboard 200 Platinum-selling release, Experiment from 2018, his 2X Platinum, 13-week-chart-topping self-titled debut album from 2016, and his ACM Award Album of the Year nominated EP, Mixtape Vol. 1. Brown became the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboard’s main country charts simultaneously with the release of his debut effort, which garnered 7X Platinum-certified hits “Heaven” and “What Ifs”-the fourth and seventh most-streamed country songs of all time, per U.S. Nielsen Country On-Demand Streams chart. With the release of Experiment, Brown became the only male country artist in more than 24 years to have his sophomore album debut at the top the Billboard 200. The Platinum certified album yielded three consecutive No. 1 Multi-Platinum certified hits “Lose It,” “Good As You” and “Homesick.” Brown’s multi-song EP project Mixtape Vol. 1 earned Brown an ACM Award nomination for Album of the Year (2021) and an ACM win-his first- for “Video of the Year.”
In addition to his forthcoming album, Brown will be kicking off his international Drunk or Dreaming Tour, which will include his first touring dates to Australia and New Zealand as well as his long-awaited return to Canada and Europe. The tour will kick off September 17th in Melbourne, Australia before continuing throughout Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK and Europe.
