So, many people thought that Keith Urbans new album would be titled “Born To Love”, however according to NashvilleScene, his publicist has just released this statement regarding his upcoming album, due out March 31.

While there is speculation at some media sources as to the title of the new Keith Urban album, scheduled to hit stores on March 31, please note that there has been no official announcement - from artist or label - as to the actual title of the new album. Further information about the new album - including the album title - is forthcoming.

I guess we’ll be sitting on the edges of our seat for a little while longer.

Keith Urban just announced his 2009 tour along with a spectacular line of supporting acts.  Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley, Glen Campbell, Lady Antebellum, and The Zac Brown Band. Urban will be releasing his 5th album in the coming months as the tour starts in May and will most likely continue through the summer.

Talk about a killer line-up. This is going to be one heck of a tour.

Urban says on his site; “we intend to give people their money’s worth, for sure…we’re looking forward to seeing fans’ reactions to the new material, and we’re seeing how we can put a few new twists on some older material. We’ll play for as long as the venues will let us”

We’ll be sure to get you the tour dates when they are announced.

WE CAN’T WAIT!!!

Itunes has this cool feature where you can look at celebrities playlists. We stumbled upon Nicole Kidman’s playlist and think it’s hysterical that there are no Keith Urban songs on her list. There is no doubt Nicole loves her mans music and we are definitely not going to read into because that would be a waste of time, we just think it’s funny.

What do you think of Nicoles playlist?

We loved Brad Paisley and Keith Urban’s performance of their new song “Start A Band” at the CMA Awards last week. Talk about eye-candy! We were so excited to see the music video for the first time today and loved it! There is nothing better then watching two stars colloborate. Check it out below!
