Kane Brown: His Place In Country Music
Kane Brown upheld a Nashville tradition dating back to the 1970s yesterday (6/4) when he held a number-one party at BMI for his latest success, “I Can Feel It.”
The song features a sample of Phill Collins’ classic song and gives Collins a co-write. Kane has yet to hear a word from the rock star on the song, and he told us he had never met him.
Surrounded by the song’s co-writers, Kane talked about how he feels about his place in country music right now. Brown told us when asked about where he stands in the genre, “I wish you could be inside my head because I felt like the outcast, and then for this album, I feel like we were almost done, and we were writing so many super 1990s, I was like, ‘It’s not 1990s enough.’ And now, the music is out, and I’m like, ‘Oh snap, are we too country now?’ I’m just all over the place.”
He added, “I think it’s a good spot. I think it gives a lot more people a chance to come in, and it’s just fun. Everything that is on top of the charts right now is just fun songs.”
The country star concluded, “All the songs that are being released right now make me super happy.”
This weekend, the singer headlines shows in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia. Throughout his summer tour, he plays shows in Boston, New Jersey, Hollywood, Florida, Orange Beach, Alabama, and more.

Brown used to hate performing but now he loves it. In May (5/16) he performed at the ACM Awards. Before he headed into the show and performed his version of the Ray Charles classic, “Georgia, On My Mind” he stopped to chat on the ACM Red Carpet.
Kane said, “I love performing. I used to hate it, so it’s grown on me a lot.” He added that he loves performing most now: “I think I just love being on stage in front of my fans who pay money to come and see me. It’s where I feel the most energetic. Do you know what I mean? It’s so fun to be on stage.”
After his performance, the singer talked about how nervous he was to just stand there and sing. He’s more comfortable when moves quickly around the stage with an upbeat tune.
