Kane Brown, 32, shared insights into the recording experience, revealing that it took hours of effort to capture the essence of the beloved ballad. “I was frustrated, to be honest. I’m not used to spending so long in the studio trying to perfect harmonies and sing softly,” he confessed in a recent interview. The complexities of the song took him by surprise, leading to moments of frustration that he aimed to overcome with dedication.
Katelyn Brown, 33, acknowledged her husband’s struggles while reflecting on her own background in music. She felt more at home with the song, which has previously been made famous by artists such as Céline Dion and Peabo Bryson, as well as Ariana Grande and John Legend. “Beauty and the Beast” has always been a cherished piece for her. “I knew we had to do this one,” Katelyn explained. With a self-identified passion for Disney, she looked forward to finally taking on a song she loved, admitting that she had even wanted them to dress as the iconic characters for Halloween.
The couple’s version of “Beauty and the Beast” is just one of many tracks to be featured on “Main Street Country,” set for release on 3 April. The EP will also celebrate the talents of artists like Restless Road with “The Climb,” Dasha’s “She’s So Gone,” and Maddie & Tae’s rendition of “You’ll Be in My Heart.” However, the experience of recording the song was made even more special for them because of their family involvement.
Katelyn recounted a heartwarming moment when she played the song for their daughters, Kingsley, 6, and Kodi, 4, during a car ride to gymnastics practice. The children were even invited into the studio while the strings were being added, where they had the opportunity to explore the harp. “It was just such a cool experience,” Katelyn remarked, highlighting the joy of sharing this creative process with their family.
The couple’s affection for Disney is palpable, with Katelyn playfully asserting her status as a “Disney kid.” Their family visits to Disney parks have become a regular occurrence, much to Katelyn’s delight. “We go three times a year with the kids and do all the things… I don’t know who’s the bigger kid,” she laughed, illustrating the infectious enthusiasm the couple shares for these family outings.
As a father of three, Kane Brown has increasingly sought to cherish every moment with his family. He expressed a strong desire to be present during his children’s upbringing, stating, “The longer we are together, the more I just don’t want to miss a moment.” This new commitment to family life has shaped his priorities, with Kane adopting a more home-focused approach in recent years.
Katelyn praised her husband for his dedication to both their family and his musical career. “Kane has been such an amazing father and such an amazing husband,” she reflected. Their partnership appears to flourish as they balance their personal and professional lives, setting an example of teamwork and mutual support.
Looking ahead, fans may be curious if the couple will perform “Beauty and the Beast” live during their tours. Katelyn expressed optimism about the possibility, stating, “I think we could totally do it live. It would definitely be a fun one to do, although it would require some practice.” Their combined enthusiasm suggests that audiences can look forward to seeing them embrace this new venture in an entertaining way.
As Kane and Katelyn Brown prepare for the release of “Main Street Country,” they highlight the joy of creating music that resonates not just with themselves, but with their family and fans alike. Their duet of “Beauty and the Beast” signifies more than just a song; it embodies their shared love for Disney and the importance of family, promising to enchant listeners for years to come.
