Keith Urban releases new single

Thursday, April 26, 2007 – Keith Urban released a new single, "I Told You So," from his "Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing" album, and the song is charting two weeks early, according to his publicist.

"'I Told You So'" started out with just a banjo and a drum machine - how traditional is that?" said Urban. "The song had this infectious Celtic sound. I'd only written the chorus and couldn't think of anything else so I put it aside. Sometime toward the end of the album, I played my little work tape to (producer) Dann (Huff) and he said, 'We've got to do that one.' So I wrote the rest of the song in the studio. The lyric is real stream of consciousness."

The video for "I Told You So" recently premiered on the airwaves on CMT and GAC, as well as online on Yahoo! and keithurban.net. Directed by Charles Mehling, the video was shot in one day at a soundstage in Studio City.

(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 ...
