Keith Urban tackled yacht rock classics on upcoming album

Keith Urban's 13th studio album, Flow State, is due out via MCA) June 12. It features collaborations with Michael McDonald, Little Big Town and John Mayer and finds the country/pop rocker covering such 1970s and '80s "yacht rock" favorites as “Summer Breeze,” “Baby Come Back” and “Just the Two of Us,” alongside original track, “We Go Back” (ft. Michael McDonald). Urban and Dann Huff co-produced. 

“The origins of this kind of music was, in certain ways, a reaction and an antidote to the stresses of the times. Its sole mission (and soul mission) is unchanged…to bring us together and remind us that life is happening NOW- the eternal now- and we have far more in common than not. I hope wherever you hear this album you can feel the exhale, comfort and optimism these songs were originally written by and for.” -Keith Urban

Available to stream now are “We Go Back” (ft. Michael McDonald), and the Seals & Crofts’ hit “Summer Breeze.”
