Audio / KEITH URBAN TALKS ABOUT “FINDING” JULIA MICHAELS AND COLLABORATING WITH HER ON TWO OF THE SONGS FROM HIS LATEST ALBUM, GRAFFITI U.
DownloadKeith Urban (Julia Michaels) OC: …nerve wracking. :42
“I heard her EP a while back. She put out a song called ‘Issues,’ and I loved it, and then I got her EP and there’s maybe just 7 or 8 songs on it, but I literally loved every single song on that record and I thought I just got to figure out if I can write with her someday. And her and two of the writers, we got together one day, and we wrote a song called ‘Gemini,’ which is on the album. And then I was working on this song called ‘Coming Home,’ and I needed, I just wanted some more color on finishing out the song, so I called in Julia and she helped me finish it out and then sang on the bridge. We got to do it at the ACMs, and that’s the first time we’d ever played that song in front of an audience. It was a little nerve wracking.”
