Kane Brown is arguably one of the hottest artists in country music right now, with a string of soul-laced hits behind him and a new album just ahead. Fans understandably want to know all about his personal life, and he’s reportedly opening up in a big way for a new song.
The star has revealed how he co-wrote a deeply-personal duet with his wife, Katelyn, and the two of them will sing it together on his next album. The track is called “Mad at This World,” and there’s no word on how it will sound. But according to CMT, the family affair will tell the Browns’ true life story of meeting and falling in love. The couple now have a daughter named Kingsley Rose, who was born in October of 2019.
“We just kind of wrote a song about our background, about how we connected, how we met,” Brown says in a recent story. “When I brought it into her, and she listened to it and just heard the story about my side of the story of how we met, she loved it.”
Brown is certainly no stranger to a collaboration, having shared the mic with everyone from Lauren Alaina and Brooks & Dunn to Marshmello and Nelly — but he’s never done anything like this before. It won’t be a huge stretch, though, since Katelyn is a musical talent in her own right. The trained singer graduated from Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music in 2019.
No more details are available yet, but Kane Brown says he still has a long way to go on his third full-length album — which is rumored to hold 14 tracks and follows 2020’s Mixtape, Vol. 1 EP.
The hit maker will say that at least some of it has an “old school,” “Sam Cooke” vibe, and that he wants to make it his best music yet — but he’ll have his work cut out for him in that department. Mixtape included “Cool Again,” “Worldwide Beautiful,” “Be Like That” (with Swae Lee and Khalid) “Worship You,” and “Last Time I Say Sorry” (with John Legend), all of which made an impact. He’s also currently featured on Chris Young’s “Famous Friends,” and was announced as a celebrity ambassador for Lowes’ 100 Hometowns contest.
