Keith Urban finally gives fans a new album titled Graffiti U. The new project comes Two years after the release of the Grammy-nominated LP Ripcord.
I’ve been full-on writing, recording, collaborating and creating with some incredibly talented people for Graffiti U, a lot of whom I’ve never worked with before,” Urban says in a press release. “I can hear how some of the songs will translate live already, which really makes putting on a new show so exhilarating, and I loved having our fans included in the announcement of the tour because it’s their tour too.”
For this album, Urban has focused on including his audience in every announcement, even briefly dueting onstage with a fan who is an aspiring country star herself.
“I was toying with the letter ‘U,'” Urban told Rolling Stone Country of the process he went through in naming the album and impending tour. “Obviously it’s the first letter of my last name, but I liked that when you say it, it’s also the word ‘You.’ For me, that’s the listener, that’s the audience. The sound of words is a big thing to me – Ripcord was like that, Fuse was like that. Fuse and Ripcord denoted a certain kind of energy in the word to me.
‘Graffiti’ to me felt very uninhibited, artistic, liberated expression. ‘Graffiti’ to me is a blank canvas and pure artistic expression upon that.”
