Sonically, Brown has gone back and forth between progressive, pop-friendly country music and traditional. "Miles on It" — a collaboration with Marshmello — is a very contemporary beat around a familiar summer love song. Fans and programmers have shown little hesitancy to play the song. It's already been certified Platinum and inside the Top 20.
He'll wrap up the U.S. dates of his headlining tour this month before heading to Australia in November. Both "Miles on It" and his previous radio single "I Can Feel It" are from an unreleased album.
