Keith Urban’s ‘The Speed of Now Part 1’ Coming In September
Keith Urban recently surprised fans with the announcement of his upcoming studio album, The Speed of Now Part 1, which drops on Sept. 18.
A video announcement shows Urban sequestered at home and finding ways to pass the time—making coffee, watching television, scrolling through his phone, playing (Game of Thrones-themed) board games—as he also attempts to conjure up a name for the album.
“I liked it because I felt like life was flying by so fast. Faster and faster all the time. But music, for me, has always been the place where it slows down and doesn’t even exist. I would never have imagined that, in 2020, this album title would take on a whole new meaning and yet somehow still feel incredible relevant.”
The end of the video zips through the names of a few tracks from the project, including “Tumbleweed,” “Change Your Mind,” “Wait,” “Superman,” and “Polaroid,” which Urban released two weeks ago. “Polaroid” was written by Sam Fischer, Steph Jones, Geoff Warburton, Griffen Palmer and Mark Trussell. The track was produced by Urban and Joey Moi.
