Kane Brown made his national television debut Thursday (Dec. 1) on Ellen, where he performed his current single, “Thunder In The Rain,” from his self-titled debut album.

Ellen introduced the newcomer as the “artist to watch, who is breaking all the rules of country music,” before Kane took to the stage. Dressed casually in camouflage pants, long sleeved t-shirt, sneakers and a ball cap, Kane was as cool as a cucumber when he ventured out into the audience, shaking hands with fans during his performance.

“You’re fire, I’m lightning / We’re burning at the core / Falling and crashing / Girl, we’re the perfect storm / Every time our hearts collide / I can feel our love come alive / It’s the same, baby / We’re like thunder in the rain,” he sang during the song’s upbeat chorus.

At the end of the performance Ellen announced that everyone in the audience would be taking home his debut CD.

Kane is currently headlining the Monster Energy Outbreak Presents: Kane Brown Ain’t No Stopping Us Now Tour (say that ten times fast) through January and his self-titled debut album is available today (Dec. 2).

“I feel like this album’s got so many good songs,” Kane told Nash Country Daily prior to his album release. “I’m usually very shy because of my music. I’m like, ‘Do you like this? I don’t know if you’re going to like this or not.’ But with the new songs, I’m like, ‘you’re going to find at least one or two songs on my album that you like.’ I’m just super excited to get it out there to everybody.”
