Keith Urban’s eighth studio album Ripcord, the follow up to his record- breaking #1 album FUSE, will be released Friday, May 6th. The album coincides with the release of a brand new single (Tuesday, March 29th) and the June 2nd launch of his ‘ripCORD WORLD TOUR 2016’ with Brett Eldredge and special guest Maren Morris.
“Ripcord is almost done – and it’s been an exhilarating journey,” said Urban. “Getting to work with so many new musicians and writers and co-producers has been a divine experience for me – and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
Ripcord has already produced two No. 1 songs, “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16” and “Break On Me”, the four-time Grammy Award winner’s 20th chart-topper.

“There’s songs on the record that probably feel, having not skydived myself, but my wife has done it many, many, many times. There’s definitely songs that sound like that free falling at an incredibly rapid speed. The adrenaline rush of that. The pulling of the cord and suddenly just sort of cruising and coasting and floating and the combination of all those speeds, energies, exhilarations, euphoria, the view, how that changes, all of it, I think, hopefully will be captured in the diversity of songs on this record.”
