Kane Brown is in his new home studio just outside Nashville, preparing to have the first sit-down conversation about his fourth studio album, “The High Road.” It's a fitting title, because pounding the pavement is something he's more than familiar with. A few short days ago, he was in Los Angeles, performing at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball alongside an eclectic mix of the biggest performers — SZA, Tate McRae, Madison Beer, T-Pain, Paris Hilton and K-pop group NCT Dream among them.
To the untrained ear, it might seem unusual pairing — one of the great modern country voices alongside pop acts. But genre-mixing? That's something Brown knows a little bit about, too.
