Keith Urban’s never been a stranger to embracing different musical styles, but in a new Rolling Stone interview, the singer says he’s feeling more musically free now than he ever has before in his two decade-plus career.
A few of those reasons have to do with Keith's ever-growing confidence in who he is as an artist, especially after getting sober 15 years ago. From a musical standpoint, Nashville has grown and changed over the years, allowing for a broader definition of what country music is. Often collaborating with artists like Pink and Taylor Swift, Keith's fan base is used to hearing sounds from the fringes of mainstream country.
On his latest album, The Speed of Now Part 1, Keith furthers those sounds, duetting with up-and-comer Breland on “Out the Cage.” Keith says that when he first heard Breland’s music, he was immediately captivated.
