Urban raises up new video Tuesday

Monday, March 30, 2015 – Keith Urban will debut his new music video for "Raise 'Em Up," the fifth single from "Fuse," on Tuesday to Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

The video for the song featuring Eric Church, was shot in Nashville last month and will premiered tomorrow as well.

"Some of the idea for this video started with me playing with my phone one day, filming our girls jumping in slow motion," said Urban. "That's all that they were doing, just jumping up in the air in slo mo. We put 'Raise 'Em Up' on and were watching this film of our girls, and they just went together beautifully. It was so simple, and emotional, and it captured some of the spirit of what I feel is at the heart of this song."

"My favorite part of this video were the candid moments that were captured between Keith and I on film," said Church. "It's cool that a number of those made it in the final version. To me, they really reify the emotion of the moment and experience."

The Grammy nominated single, "Raise 'Em Up," is Urban's 33rd top 10. Urban and Church will perform the song for the first time on network television on the 50th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, April 19th at 8 p.m. eastern.

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 ...
CD review - Ripcord Even though Keith Urban's single, "Wasted Time," borrows more than a little sonic sensibility from electronic music, there's still an upfront banjo solo. And this is how it's always been with Urban. He may play the part of the guitar hero at times, and even revealed his eclectic musical knowledge as a judge on American Idol, but Urban will always be a country boy at heart. And boyish good looks and talent have taken this country boy far, too. The wonderfully titled ...
