Capital Nashville recording artist Keith Urban released his 8th studio album titled ripCORD on May 6 to a marvelous start, contains Keith’s 18th and 19th number one singles; “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16” is an up-tempo, striking single chocked-full of music and pop-culture references that one cannot help but to sing along with. Keith succeeded that single with a very sentimental and heart-rending song “Break on Me”. It is no secret that both Keith and his wife Nicole have been through a lot over the last several years and this song seizes all those circumstances.
Keith sustains his capability to provide the sensitive raw songs with “That Could Still Be Us,” allowing his beautiful vocals to be on exhibit with a smooth piano playing in the background. The album is invigorated with “Getting’ In The Way”, a song about fogging up windows and making out. The chorus is lively and has a zip to it that makes this tune a fun one to turn up the volume to.
I should leave, put the car in drive babe
But your kiss keeps tellin’ me to stay
Yeah, your lips keep getting’ in the way
You know we should’ve called it a night, babe
“The Fighter” is an impeccable dream team combination, with Keith and Carrie Underwood. Their powerhouse vocals compliment each other flawlessly on this single. With a marvelous beat and tempo, along with their gorgeous voices makes this a standout on the album.
ripCORD no doubt encompasses a few more number one songs for Keith, a true work of art exhibiting that Keith is able to deliver one great album after another. With so many exquisite songs, the only thing you have to decide is which one you want to listen to first. One listen and you will see why fans are yearning over Urban’s latest release.
ripCORD is available where all digital media is sold.
