Keith Urban gets closer with new music
The single was co-written by Urban, Sarah Buxton and Jedd Hughes and is co-produced by Dann Huff and Urban. "I've always loved songs about 'the guy in love with the unattainable girl', said Urban. "And the idea that the only chance that this poor guy is ever going to have to get close to the object of his affection is to put her in a song, just struck me. That way he'd be able to take her with him everywhere he goes...day and night."
"On my way to write with Jedd (Hughes) and Sarah (Buxton), I stopped by this music shop and bought a bouzouki. I got it out of the case, we got a great groove going on the drum machine, I started playing the opening riff, and the song just took off."
Buxton, who has released music for the late Lyric Street label, wrote the hit Stupid Boy recorded by Urban, while Hughes once was on the MCA label. He, like Urban, is from Australia. Hughes and Buxton have worked together and are collaborating on an album.
"Get Closer" follows Urban's Billboard Top 200 Album Chart number 1 CD, "Defying Gravity." The CD yielded two number one hits Only You Can Love Me This Way and Sweet Thing, for which Urban won his third Grammy Award (Best Male Country Vocal Performance).
Urban is currently in the studio in Nashville, putting the finishing touches on "Get Closer."
