Keith Urban reveals new album won’t be country

Mar 30, 2026, 4:00 PM

If you’ve ever seen Keith Urban perform live, then you know he loves to perform a cover song or two. When in Colorado, he’s performed “Rocky Mountain High” by John Denver and even “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen.

In other cities he’s also done covers of Kane Brown and Ariana Grande.

Earlier in March, Urban was performing at the Country Music Seminar and revealed that he has a new album coming out of just covers. Something he’s never done before.

“It’s a thematic record, yacht rock songs,” Urban said. “You think I’m kidding, but I’m not.”

The four-time Grammy Award winner also said there will be an original song on the record.

Below, you can see Urban performing Robbie Dupree’s, “Steal Away.”
