Keith Urban plans Sweet Thing video

Monday, December 15, 2008 – Keith Urban will be out with a new music video for his latest single Sweet Thing, set for release this January. Urban shot the video just outside of Nashville at the Middle Tennessee Research & Education Center in Spring Hill, Tenn.

The video was directed by Trey Fanjoy, who also collaborated with Urban on several videos, including Raining On Sunday and Somebody Like You. Woven throughout the video is Urban's vintage Ford Mustang, which not only symbolizes the passage of time, but is a key reference to a lyric in the song itself: "I know I'm going to see you first thing tomorrow/But I just couldn't wait/So I had to borrow Uncle Jake's Mustang/It's his favorite car and so I can't stay long."

"Monty (Powell) and I were writing the song, and we needed a car reference in the second verse," said Urban. "She (the car) provided a spark not only for the song, but for the video, even though the song obviously isn't about my car...We really had a blast making this video, and I can't wait for everyone to see it."

Urban returns to the studio to continue recording for his yet to be titled release due March 31.

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 ...
