Kane Brown has been on a big Limp Bizkit kick lately.
"People might be shocked to find out I'm into that stuff, but them and Korn and Slipknot — that's the music that speaks to me in the gym," says the 28-year-old country star whose deep, syrupy voice has driven him to the top of Billboard's country airplay chart eight times since 2017.
There's no nu-metal to speak of on Brown's third studio album, "Different Man" (due Sept. 9), but the LP still showcases one of Nashville's most casually expansive talents, with rowdy power-country tunes — including his latest No. 1, the endearingly shameless "Like I Love Country Music" — up against trappy pop jams like "Grand" and sweet, sticky R&B songs such as "See You Like I Do," in which the singer-songwriter imagines watching his lady "on the runway walking with your wings with Gigi and Gisele."
