Keith Urban Opens Up About Fuse
. Radio.com recently talked with Urban about Fuse (which hit stores today, Sept. 10). The album features 16 songs and includes collaborations with not only Church but also Miranda Lambert. "I'm really really looking forward for people getting to hear the whole album," said Urban. Radio.com: Why did you decide to make "Little Bit of Everything" the lead single off your new album? Keith Urban: I just got the feel of it. Everybody that had heard the song loved it. Sometimes it's just as simple as that. It just feels good. It sounded good and everybody felt like that was a good song to go with. For me, 'cause I'm working on the whole album, it's almost like, "You guys pick whatever song you want. I'm so happy with this whole record, let's just pick a song that makes sense and get it out, and let's get touring." Radio.com: Your previous albums have had themes of love or personal pain. Did you go in with a specific theme for Fuse? Keith Urban: Not really. I don't really ever go in with a theme for an album, one usually comes from all the songs I start gravitating towards. I always let the album drive everything. I go in and I take songs that I've written, songs that I've found. In this case with Fuse, we recorded well over 20 songs, which I've never done before. It was just a prolific time and I found a lot of great songs. Slowly but surely what I thought constituted this particular record started to come together. To me, it's really 16 songs, so I've pieced together these 16 songs and there's a 13-song version of the album as well. For me, the flow of the record really is about those 16. Radio.com: Is there a song on the album you feel defines where you are as an artist right now? Keith Urban: They all do in their own way, that's how a record comes together. There's something about each track that is very much a part of who I am. Even if it's a song I haven't written like "Little Bit of Everything" I make a connection with the song and hope others do, too. Read the full interview here.
