In a recent interview with Principle Magazine, country music sensation Kane Brown opened up about his latest album, “The High Road,” his views on the evolving genre of country music, and the importance of addressing mental health. Here are some highlights.
The Inspiration Behind “The High Road”
Kane Brown shared the story behind the album’s title, explaining that it was inspired by a song that was initially meant to be on the album but wasn’t ready for release. “When we couldn’t figure out a title, that one just made the most sense just of what the song was talking about and just how I am as a person as I’m always trying to keep my head up when we are travelling so much,” he said.

Country Music’s Evolution
Brown also reflected on his journey as a country artist and the direction he sees the genre heading. “Country music is a very tight-knit genre, so when you’re coming in, I feel like you gotta prove something,” he said. Despite the challenges, Brown has stayed true to himself, and it has paid off.

Addressing Mental Health Through Music
One of the standout tracks on Brown’s new album is “Haunted,” which delves into the topic of mental health. Brown emphasized the importance of addressing mental health, especially for men. “I think it’s really important for guys to talk about it… I feel like guys are kind of shielded off and then it can be too late,” he said. By singing about these topics, Brown aims to encourage open conversations about mental health and remove the stigma associated with it.
