Urban releases "God Whispered Your Name" video

Thursday, April 2, 2020 – Keith Urban has released a video for his new single "God Whispered Your Name."

Directed by Jennifer Massaux, Urban said, "I wanted to first try and capture a sense of isolation, a lonely, dark place, that transitions into light a bit more as the video progresses, which for me is how I found my own world opening up as I went along my journey."

The video had its challenges. "That dark and lonely place, was underneath a warehouse in Nashville, literally the darkest, dank and smelly place. We spent the whole morning there shooting everything that you now see in the first part of the video."

"There was water in this room that I thought was like an inch deep," said Urban. "So, I opened the door, walked in and it was really about a foot. The first idea I had was to put my feet and socks into a garbage bag - tie them up and put my shoes on. I'd have my foot, my sock, a garbage bag and then my shoe - it made so much sense - but the water went everywhere. At the end of the shoot I took my boots off and they were drenched - probably as much water in the bag as there was in the waterway."

During the video, Urban played his guitar while balanced atop a boulder on a mountainscape located just outside of the small town of Lancaster, Cal. "Playing guitar atop a boulder is definitely not a great idea. You just kinda lose yourself in what you're doing, and every minute or two you realize what you're doing, and you think, 'I better not fall off this big ass boulder.'"

"For me, a good music video takes the song to another level. It maybe gives the song a bit more dimension and hopefully we've done that with this one."

CD reviews for Keith Urban

CD review - High Following hits "Straight Line," "Wildside" and "Go Home W U" featuring Lainey Wilson, Keith Urban drops thematically driven and pleasantly electrifying album "High," a nearly four-year drop since 2020's "The Speed of Now Part 1." Urban took great interest in feelings and experiences associated with the word "high," reflecting on his own passions approaching the sensation or "place of utopia" as Urban dubs it . ...
CD review - THE SPEED OF NOW Part 1 It's getting tougher and tougher all the time to justify categorizing Keith Urban's music as country. "The Speed of Now, Pt. 1" doesn't help. (What, is there a pt. 2 of this largely lame music on the way? Say it ain't so!) It's a relatively good pop album, for a Nashville pop effort, but there's just too much real country (Jon Pardi, Luke Combs) getting played on mainstream radio these days. The world just doesn't really need new Urban pop music. ...
CD review - Graffiti U It's telling how two songs on Keith Urban's "Graffiti U" album chug along to a reggae beat because pop rhythms and non-country elements are the obvious inspirations for this collection. Opener "Coming Home" may borrow (steal?) a guitar riff from Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried," but this is where that country road begins and ends. Urban follows "Coming Home" with "Never Comin' Down," which is introduced with a funky bass line ...
