Kane Brown is revealing the inspiration behind his daughter Kodi Jane‘s name. 

Just before the new year, Kane and his wife, Katelyn, made the surprise announcement that they had welcomed their second child into the family, joining two-year-old daughter Kingsley. 

In an interview with the Superstar Power Hour podcast, Kane shares that he and his wife wanted to stay on the theme of using “K” in the name, and originally had another idea in mind. 

“We were of course trying to think of a ‘K.’ The whole time when we had Kingsley, our next baby we were going to name them Knight,” he explains, according to People. “We were hoping it was going to be a boy at first, but when we found out it was going to be a girl I was like, ‘We could still name her Knight.'”

But during the couple’s gender-reveal party, Kane suggested the name Kodi, which was a hit among the intimate crowd of family and friends in attendance, and led to a discussion about how they were going to spell it. Kodi’s middle name, Jane, is taken from that of Katelyn’s grandmother.

The couple welcomed the baby on December 30 in Nashville. “New year, New family member. Welcome to the family Kodi Jane. Secrets finally out,” Kane shared in an Instagram post, alongside a photo taken at the hospital about her birth.

The seventh studio effort from the U.K. outfit — and the follow-up to 2019’s two-part Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost — arrives June 17, and includes the previously released songs “Wake Me Up” and “2am.”

“I feel that with Everything Not Saved…we touched upon all of the facets of our sound up until that point,” he adds. “This time we wanted to find a new way to express ourselves.”

HAIM has premiered a new song called “Lost Track.”

The tune was influenced by the book Appointment in Samarra, specifically the scene where a character throws a drink into someone’s face.

“We were inspired by the idea of someone doing something so drastic to get out of a situation they felt uncomfortable in — just to feel something,” HAIM says.

HAIM is releasing “Lost Track” in connection with Alana Haim‘s cover shoot for the new issue of W magazine, photographed by filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson. The “Lost Track” video, which Anderson directed, is streaming now via WMagazine.com.

Alana, of course, also stars in the new PTA movie Licorice Pizza. Her performance has been nominated for a Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice Award and a BAFTA.
