Kane Brown Delays Upcoming Album Release, Explains Why Fans Will Have to Wait

While Kane Brown continues to recover from a golf ball injury that left him with 23 stitches and a “slight concussion” a few weeks ago, the country star has been keeping his attention on what’s next.

Brown recently opened up to Bobby Bones about the direction of his upcoming album, admitting that he went through a period where he “wasn’t really feeling the music,” which led him to push back the release date from this fall to the spring of 2027.

“I really want to focus on this album and just kind of…I’ve been all over the place with it, wanting to write songs or stories. Wanting it to sound old school, not just country, but different sounds, like 50s type music. And then I was been talking to people and they’re like, ‘Bro, your album doesn’t have to sound cohesive. You haven’t had one album sound cohesive. Why do it now?’ And I was like, ‘You’re right,” he recalled.

After spending some time figuring out what he wanted the project to sound like, the hitmaker said he’s now feeling much more excited about the direction his music is headed in. Brown also revealed that his next project will feature several outside songs that he believes have the potential to become hits.

“I’m in love with it now and we got a lot of outside songs. I don’t have a lot of outside songs. I think we got three or four now that are actually smashes. One of them is the one that I put up the other day. Yeah, I’m really excited…I know I say this a lot, but this one is my favorites.”

He then clarified that the album won’t necessarily be one of his most personal projects, but it will be a collection of songs that he genuinely loves and believes his fans will connect with just as much.

“I’m only going for hits,” he joked.

There will be at least one track, which he has previously teased, that takes a more personal approach as it was inspired by a song he grew up listening to, Shania Twain’s 1995 release, “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?”

Next month, fans will be able to get their hands on his version of the track titled, “Whose Bed My Boots Have Been Under,” which serves as a response to the original story and even includes Twain on background vocals.

“It’s the guy’s version. The only thing personal with that with me is just I grew up to that song. I think Shania’s doing some backup vocals and all that,” he explained. “It’s not a copy at all, but there’s parts of the melodies in the song.”

Kane Brown currently has three remaining U.S. shows on the books for the year before taking a few months off and preparing to head down under for stops across Austrlia and Brisbane in January of 2027.

ERNEST Pauses Touring to Prioritize His Mental and Physical Health

ERNEST has announced that he will be stepping away from the road for the next couple of weeks as he takes time to focus on his mental and physical health. The country singer shared the news with fans via his Instagram story on Friday, August 28, revealing that the demands of life on the road have started to take a toll on him.

He wrote, “Heyy’all. The road has been dragging me down in a bad way. From mental to physical health. I am going away for a couple of weeks to get myself and my priorities back in order.”

ERNEST is currently out serving as a supporting act for Ella Langley’s The Dandelion Tour, and had been scheduled to perform alongside her through September 12. He took a moment to share his gratitude towards the “Choosin’ Texas” singer for having him out on tour and wished her the best as she continues her trek, which includes a stop in Auburn, Alabama, tonight (Aug. 28).

“I want to thank Ella for having me out on tour and wishing her the BEST in Auburn tonight and the rest of the tour.”

He acknowledged that taking this time for himself is something he feels he needs to do, both for his own well-being and for those around him. Per his statement, he is looking forward to returning to the road feeling “better and stronger.”

“I look forward to coming back better and stronger I owe it to myself and those affected by my actions. That starts now. Love y’all,” he wrote in conclusion.

In addition to having dates scheduled with Langley, ERNEST was set to play a few fairs and festivals before joining Thomas Rhett’s The Soundtrack To Life Tour for select dates beginning October 1 and running through October 17.

The news arrives just a few days after ERNEST performed at the legendary Red Rocks as an opening act for Ian Munisck’s headline show. Hours before he took the stage, it was announced that Dolly Parton tragically passed away. The “Lorelei” singer took to social media to express his sadness over the loss and to reflect on all those who still came out to the show later that night.

“We lost the QUEEN yesterday and I believe it took a bit out of all of us, all over the world. Dolly Parton, the songwriter, artist, woman, philanthropist and the ICON. She lived a life that brought joy to many thru not only songs but laughter and a warm, giving heart…. She will be greatly missed…Thank you @ianmunsick for having us… And thank you to all who made it out to the show,” he wrote.

It’s unclear when ERNEST will return to the road or who will be replacing him on the remainder of Ella Langley’s upcoming shows.
