The High Road is Brown’s fourth studio album. Always one to toe the line between country music and other genres, Brown doesn’t hold back on The High Road, even it if makes him a bit uneasy.
“[I’ve] always been kind of nervous to push boundaries and do certain things,” Brown admits to The Associated Press. “But I’ve been here for almost a decade now, so I needed to stop hiding and just do what I love to do. And country is always my number one.”
With three records already to his credit, the 31-year-old is full of pride with The High Road, and the time and effort into making the album what it became.
“This is by far my favorite album, from the sequencing to the songwriting to the different sounds. There’s definitely a song for everybody,” boasts Brown. “My other albums, I always kind of cared what people thought about. And this album, we don’t… We gave our everything into the songs.”
Jelly Roll joins Brown on “Haunted,” a song Brown wrote with Gabe Foust and Jaxson Free, while in Manchester, England, and immediately knew it was perfect for the “Save Me” singer.
“It was this big hotel, and I had the suite, which was a bank vault. So, the bank vault was actually in my room and there were these old paintings on the wall,” Brown remembers. “And we wrote three or four songs that day and we couldn’t think of a song title. And I was like, ‘This is place is haunted. Let’s write a song called ‘Haunted,’ about depression and all that.’ It actually came out really quick, and it’s meaningful to me. So hopefully it’ll be meaningful to a lot of other people.”
Although he didn’t write it, Jelly Roll was so enamored by the song that he wanted to include it on one of his albums, if Brown wasn’t going to release it on his own.
“That song is so him,” Brown concedes. “He didn’t think that I was going to release it, so he was trying to keep it for himself. So that told me that the song meant even more to him than what I thought it was going to mean.”
Brown will embark on his The High Road Tour on March 13, joined by Scotty McCreery, Ashley Cooke, Mitchell Tenpenny and Dasha. The High Road will be released on January 24. See a track list below. Pre-order the project, and find all of Brown’s music and upcoming shows at KaneBrownMusic.com.
