.kanebrown's third album 'Different Man' shows off his gift for mixing classic country with less expected sounds. Read our review.
Brown may well be the only performer on earth who can earnestly namecheck Alan Jackson in one song and then immediately pivot to a moody trap-pop number about fame, as he does a couple tracks later on “Grand.” He tries on Shawn Mendes-style funk pop on “See You Like I Do” and finds he likes the fit, then incorporates a bossa nova rhythm for the lovestruck “Drunk or Dreaming,” which could easily be a lost Kenny Chesney hit.
Thankfully, there also moments that display Brown’s knack with bedrock country sounds and songwriting, like the fiddle-driven “Whiskey Sour,” an intoxicating, bittersweet breakup lament, and “Nothing I’d Change,” which wraps a message of domestic contentment in breezy country soul. Best of all is “Pop’s Last Name,” an acoustic tune in which he recalls being raised by his grandfather after his biological father went to prison.
