Keith Urban has dropped a new single called Straight Line.
The catchy, country-pop track serves as the first teaser of the 56-year-old superstar's forthcoming 12th studio album, though further details are still to be revealed. Introducing the song with a post on Instagram, he wrote:
"This is the song that kicks off an album I'm jonesing to share with you all. I chose it first for a lot of reasons, but particularly because I think it represents an energy and spirit that became a through line of this whole record.
"I'm gonna cover a lot of themes, emotions and vibes on this album but a very human spirit runs through them all. Straight Line is wanting to break out of a soul-sucking routine that you might be stuck in: maybe in a relationship, a job, with creativity, with yourself... whatever it is!! It's a message of feeling alive again and getting out from under that dark cloud."
News of the LP follows his 2023 induction into the Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Fame, and a return to the American Idol stage as both a mentor and performer. It will follow up 2020's 'The Speed of Now Part 1'.
