Kane Brown

Blending hip-hop-influenced R&B with confessional pop, Kane Brown has defied country conventions with a string of Billboard Country Airplay number-one hits in the late 2010s.

On his singles, Brown alternated between romantic slow jams and party numbers ripe for remixes and collaborations by Khalid and Marshmello.

Brown’s versatility disguised a candidly emotional and autobiographical streak that surfaced on his albums, an element that added dimension to his music even when it wound up as an accent on a collection of savvy modern pop as it did on Different Man, the 2022 album that confirmed him as one of the more distinctive country stars of his era.

As Childish Gambino, Glover refined his off-kilter brand of hip-hop on his 2013 breakthrough album Because the Internet, before making a sharp turn toward R&B-inspired funk, which won him a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance in 2017 for the single “Redbone.” In 2018, his politically charged song “This Is America” debuted at number one atop the Billboard Hot 100, buoyed by a viral music video that addressed gun violence and racial injustice.

The success of those two projects launched him into a creative burst, which led to the release of his genre-defying, mind-bending 3.15.20 album in 2020.
