Give Keith Urban a microphone and a crowd, and youâre gonna get some great soundbites.
On April 23, Spotify hosted a private Fans First party in Nashville for more than 150 of Keithâs biggest fans, and Keith treated them to a sneak listen of his upcoming album, Graffiti U, which drops on April 27.
In addition to performing acoustic versions of new songs âFemale,â âComing Home, and âPaint It on Sunday,â as well as a duet with wife Nicole Kidman on âParallel Line,â Keith answered questions from the fans in attendance and shared a few amusing anecdotes, including his failed plan to play a song at one of his concerts in total darkness (he couldnât see the piano keys) and being terrified before his performance of âComing Homeâ at the ACM Awards on April 15.
âI was terrifiedâI had never played [âComing Homeâ] live before and there are a lot of words,â said Keith with a laugh. âThereâs a weird voice in my head that happens every time I play on a TV show and it happened at the ACMs when we did âComing Home.â The song starts and Iâm walking up to the mic and the voice goes, âDonât forget the words.â Out of the blue, literally. My heart [pounds] and then it all comes out.â
In addition to hearing Keithâs tunes, fans were able to explore an art mural exhibition, which featured a series of murals created by a group of five acclaimed local artists, including Nathan Brown,Ty Christian, Brian Wooden, Eric âMobeâ Bassand and Aaron Martin.
