Of the new project and Brownâs career to date, American Songwriter notes: âItâs this multifaceted foundation that has led him to be such a versatile artist, one capable of crooning like Garth Brooks and nimbly maneuvering on a track like a more conventional pop starâŠhowever, at the core of who he is and the driving force behind his inspiration and passion is his family, including his fans. For Brown, itâs a combination of a feeling he gives off to others and who he is at his core. Add those to the joy his music engenders to a diverse group of listeners, and youâve got something.â Â
Brownâs third full-length studio album, Different Man, is the follow up to his #1 Billboard 200 Platinum-selling release, Experiment(2018), his 2X Platinum, 13-week-chart-topping self-titled debut album, Kane Brown (2016), and his ACM Award Album of the Year nominated EP, Mixtape Vol.1. Named âthe future of country musicâ (Billboard), Brown became the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboardâs main country charts simultaneously with the release of his debut effort, which garnered 7X Platinum-certified hits âHeavenâ and âWhat Ifsâ-the fourth and seventh most-streamed country songs of all time (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 âLose It,â âGood As Youâ and âHomesick.â Brownâs 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 âVideo of the Year.”
