Call Keith Urban at 1-888-617-0623

Keith UrbanI just got off the phone with Keith Urban. Well, it was just a recording of him. But still. It's this thing he's doing to promote his next release, a song called "Sweet Thing." So you call this number (1-888-617-0623) and get to hear him say "Hey guys, Keith Urban here." Duh. But then he thanks you for calling and let's you listen to about 30 seconds of the song. It's not a crystal clear recording, but I think I heard something about a porch swing, climbing inside, leaving in the morning and the night being young. I'm sure when it hits radio next week we'll all get a better idea of what the song's all about. But it sounds very Urbanesque, so I'm sure it'll hit the top of the charts regardless of what it's about.

    It’s set to be released on November 3 - Monday - so call/e-mail your radio stations and get them to put it on the playlist right away!

    Alison, someone said on the message board that the song sounds better on speaker phone, if you have it.

    Can’t wait for New Keith Music!!!

    I’m so excited about new music from Keith! I love what I’ve heard of the song. It actually, to me, has a country sound to it!! Very excited. My station loves Keith so I’m pretty sure they will get it on their playlist pretty quick. They even played the 30 seconds of it on the radio.

    I can’t wait to hear the whole thing!

    I couldn’t hear it very well either, but i definately could hear it better when I called on my house phone. You just have to enter your cell number, and it plays.

    His voice is so beautiful, I cant stop listening to it!!!

    I have also heard a touch of “Sweet Thing” and I just love it. I can’t wait to hear the full version.

    This was a great way for an artist to pass off a taste so their new music. Made if feel more personal.

    Oh Keith, you are so clever, I did not even listen to it yet, but of course it is “sweet thing” , either refering to “Sunday” or “Nicole” and I Love it already , everything and anything you sing/ write is music to my ears. Your an inspiration! I can’t wait to hear it!

    I got a text yesterday about the song - called and listened and left a little voicemail…. gotta love technology - but not as much as KEITH. Then, like a lovesick teenager, i brag to all my friends about having Keith’s phone number - but a girl can dream right! I have seen Keith 3 times LIVE and can’t wait for the 4th!

    I haven’t heard the song, but can’t wait. He could sing the telephone book and it would sound good to me.

    Another upbeat, catchy lead-off single from Keith. Woohoo! That’s my type of music. Thank you, Keith. Looking forward to the new
    CD. Oh, and the new LIVE DVD is coming out on November 11. That live DVD is definitely a MUST HAVE. For those who missed his “Love, Pain” tour, this is your opportunity to watch the MASTER PERFORMER in action and a testament to why is one of the best in the business.

    The song is great but they always are. He is a icon to country music. Keep coming with the songs and gradulations on the new baby.

    Great new song! The man knows how to market his music in fresh, original ways that add a special personal touch. I love hearing Keith Urban’s voice and music on my phone and hope “Sweet Thing” hits #1.

  • Bobbie says:

    I too thought it an amazing idea to call fan with a sneak listen of his new song. Keith does great things for his fan club members, calls, texts, etc. Very great man, with a soul to match his beautiful music I believe.
    Oh how I love “Sweet thing” and can’t wait to see a music video of it.. I bet it will be SWEET :)

    Thanks for the personal touches Keith.
