Singles from Different Man

Different Man is the third studio album by American country music singer Kane Brown, released on September 9, 2022, through RCA Records Nashville.[1] Brown co-produced the album, which was preceded by the singles "One Mississippi", "Like I Love Country Music", and "Grand", with "Thank God", a duet with his singer-songwriter wife Katelyn Brown, which impacted country radio on September 12.[2] The songs "Leave You Alone" and "Whiskey Sour" were also released ahead of the album.[3] The album was promoted with the "Drunk Or Dreamin' Tour", which ran from September 17, 2022 - September 8, 2023.

Content

Brown co-produced one of his albums for the first time, which took time to adjust to, with Brown saying that "We went from a demo to a master recording to redoing everything. I was listening to the album and not liking the sounds. [...] We kept revamping things, working and finding the sound I've been looking for, adding in more rock and country sounds".[4] The New York Times described Brown's duet with his wife Katelyn as a "folk-pop duet" and "Grand" as "post-Drake R&B", but that the album overall is "determinedly traditional", bookended odes to Brown's "rural Southern roots".[5]

Commercial performance

Different Man debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200, including number two on the Top Country Albums chart with 46,000 album equivalent units.[6] The album also reached number six in Canada and number 17 in Australia.[7][8]
