Kane Brown announced his third studio album Different Man on Monday (July 18). He also shared the project's release date and cover art.

The news comes three days after Brown signaled that he'll attempt to cross into pop music with a song called "Grand." That's the track you hear below in an album announcement reel on Instagram.

Since releasing the Mixtape, Vol. 1 EP in August 2020, Brown has now revealed seven new songs that were unattached to a project, including his current single "Like I Love Country Music." Several of those titles (seen below) will be included on Different Man, a 17-song project.

Different Man will be available on Sept. 9. The full tracklist and a list of songwriters have not yet been shared with fans. His emphasis on "Grand" and the success of "Like I Love Country Music" (Top 10 on country airplay charts in just 10 weeks) made it likely both songs will appear on the album and shortly after Brown posted to Instagram, a press released confirmed it.

"One Mississippi" — a chart-topping, Platinum-certified radio single released in 2020 — also is going to be on Different Man, as is "Whiskey Sour" and "Leave You Alone." The reset are unreleased, meaning "Memory" (his Blackbear collaboration) and "Blessed & Free" (a H.E.R. collaboration) won't be a part of the project. One additional song that Brown has confirmed for the album but not yet released is called "Mad at This World." His wife Katelyn will join him on the song.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, Brown shared a clip of "Grand" with a caption that reads, "Excited for the new pop single."

Brown has had some pop success previously with songs recorded for other people's albums. To date, his highest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 is "Heaven," a chart-topping country song from his self-titled debut album.
