BROWN:Honestly, for me it was scary as hell because it’s John Legend.
So it honestly helped me.
Both of you guys have done all sorts of collaborations that expand genres.
How do you choose which collaborations you do, especially the more unexpected ones?
For me and Kane, it literally boiled down to we really enjoyed singing together duringTrailer Talk… And it’s a great marketing strategy.
And just a great plan, period.
And it’s fun as well, it’s awesome.
Do you think this song can help with that miscommunication?
We always make mistakes.
Especially guys, I feel like we’re always making mistakes.
You guys are scheduled to perform this forACM Presents: Our Country.
How are you making what I imagine will be a virtual duet work?
LEGEND:It will be virtual.
We’re gonna collab over the internet and make it work.
BROWN:It’s definitely weird for a first live performance.
Have you already given it a test run?
LEGEND:Yeah, we’re trying to make it happen.
Its an interesting thing theyre doing.
A special like this can feel very much needed.
Even though it’s in a different way, it still feels like life’s going on.
That’s kind of an important thing.
