Keith Urban's Yacht Rock Surprise: Flow State

0:00On April 29th, Keith Urban just dropped a surprise announcement he's releasing a Yacht Rock album called Flow State on June 12th. It's an 11 track project packed with covers of those smooth late 70s classics plus one original tune. Fans were straight up confused at first. Like, why is the country star going full sailboat vibes? Earlier this week on April 29th, Urban explained his reasoning. He dug in the Yacht Rock's roots as an escape from tough times back then and said it's all about that chill antidote bringing people together in. The moment was sunny optimism. Word on the street is, folks are buzzing with questions, especially after his high profile split from the Cole Kidman. That personal stress might be pushing him toward this breezy sound, who knows, but it's got everyone speculating on the timing. The album features heavy hitters like Little Big Town on one track. John Mayer shredding a tar on another and even Michael McDonald joining for the original We Go Back. Think Vives like Summer Breeze reimagined an urban style.
