Urban shows off his "Wild Hearts"

Wednesday, February 16, 2022 – Keith Urban's latest single, "Wild Hearts," now has a video to go along with it.

"I wanted to create the feeling of the journey I've been on from day one – hoping that one day I'd be playing live in front of as many people as can be jammed into a concert hall," said Urban.

Of the boom box in the opening scenes of the new video for his latest single "Wild Hearts," Urban says, "it represents the beginning, when I had no band, and I just played to a couple of people."

"The building I'm playing on starts rising higher, as the audience grows," said Urban. "All of this leading to a starry sky becoming a sea of camera phones in the air – a phenomenal sight to see from any stage."

After nearly four years, Urban will have the chance to see them again. "All of this gives me the same adrenaline rush. Knowing that we're heading back out on the road again - it's been so long since we've done that (because of COVID). I feel like a caged animal kicking at the gate to be let out!"

The Speed of Now Tour gets underway on April 28 at the O2 Academy Birmingham, England, the first of seven shows in the United Kingdom, before launching in the U.S. on June 17 in Tampa, Fla. Urban will also return to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace with shows on March 25, 26 and 30, as well as April 1,2 and May 27, 28 and 29.

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."

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 ...
