A NEW “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” SINGLE MARKS KEITH URBAN’S RETURN; ALBUM SLATED FOR THE FALL

In just a short period of time Keith Urban has amassed 7 #1 singles, 11 Top 5’s and has firmly established himself as one of the music industry’s most electrifying and prolific talents. He’s received accolades and recognition from The Grammy Awards, The American Music Awards (AMAs), The Billboard Music Awards and is the reigning Country Music Association (CMA) Entertainer of the Year, as well as the CMA and Academy of Country Music (ACM) Male Vocalist of the Year. Now he stands poised to build on those accomplishments, with a new single, “Once In A Lifetime,” from his as of yet untitled forthcoming album slated for release this Fall.

“Once In A Lifetime” is another in a line of upbeat, infectious rockers that have come to be one of Urban’s trademarks. Written by John Shanks and Urban, “Once In A Lifetime” reunites the writing tandem responsible for inking the 6 week #1 smash “Somebody Like You” from Golden Road, the longest running #1 of 2004. The song was co-produced by Urban and longtime producer Dann Huff.

“Keith puts every ounce of his creative being into his music,” said Mike Dungan, President Capitol Records Nashville. “He’s proven time and time again that his connection to his fans and to those at radio, who continue to support him, is about musicianship, drive and a passion for the music he makes. We’re looking forward to bringing “Once In A Lifetime” to them.”

After what Urban called, “a low-key visit to Australia” this past month, he returned to Nashville, where he is still working to finish his fourth studio recording. He plans to post a message for his fans about the forthcoming album, the single and future online plans at www.keithurban.net, which has become the destination to get the latest official coverage about Keith.
