Urban's Kiss A Girl video debuts today
The video, shot in Nashville, was produced/directed by Chris Hicky and co-produced by Daniel Ridgers. The animation was done by Duck Studios under the direction of Richard Borge. It will be available in its entirety at keithurban.net and on CMT and GAC on Tuesday, June 2.
"Monty Powell, who I write a lot with, had that title (Kiss A Girl," said Urban. "We don't generally write from titles, but I loved this one the minute I heard it. Even if you've been in a relationship for a lot of years, it's imperative to remember that "spark," the innocence, and the first part of a relationship. Why not keep that alive - the idea of courting?"
The song is the second single from Urban's "Defying Gravity" CD and is third on the Country Singles Chart. Keith's "Escape Together World Tour" gets back under way on Thursday, May 28 in Charleston, S.C. before moving to Roanoke, Va. (29) and Huntsville, Ala. (20).

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 . ...
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. ...
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.
