Kane Brown – Experiment Extended

Review

Kane Brown's album "Experiment" is like taking a scenic drive through the varied landscape of modern music. Released in 2018, with an extended edition rolling out in 2019, this collection marks a significant chapter in Brown's career. With influences bouncing between contemporary R&B, electric arena rock, and his steadfast country roots, it's a rich mix. "Lose It" and "Short Skirt Weather" are peppy standouts, sparks of energy that show Brown's knack for crafting addictive choruses. But as lighthearted as those tracks are, there's depth too. "For My Daughter" offers a touching glimpse into his personal life, revealing his struggles and resolve to be the father he wants to be.

A track that really turns heads is "American Bad Dream," where Brown isn't afraid to dive into today's hard-hitting issues with sincerity. It's bold and assertive, layered with thought and invites us to ponder alongside him. Throughout "Experiment," Kane's deep baritone weaves raw honesty into the songs, adding a sense of maturity that pulls listeners in. The extended version doesn't miss a beat—tracks like "Lost in the Middle of Nowhere" with a dash of Becky G's flair, and "Like a Rodeo," offering even more flavor to the menu. All in all, "Experiment" reflects Brown's exciting evolution, proving you can evolve while staying connected to your roots. - Megan
