Keith Urban - Sweet Thing

Posted on November 24, 2008 with

As Keith Urban continues to secure himself as a major power in country music he also branches out his songs into pop and rock while still maintaining a country feel. Being able to be so versatile while staying true to your roots is a very hard thing but with his new single “Sweet Thing” he accomplishes it almost perfectly.

“Sweet Thing” which was co-written by Urban himself along with frequent co-writer Monty Powell documents a relationship from the first dates along through the times. The lyrics of “Sweet Thing” were inspired by his wife, Nicole Kidman. The song as said before is pop with a mix of rock and country but still maintains its integrity as a great country song reminiscent of past Urban songs and somewhat reminds me of a Rascal Flatts song. Keith Urban’s sound has been copied by many country rockers throughout the past few years but none have been able to have the same success. Overall I can see “Sweet Thing” being another top hit for Keith Urban and it is a great start to his next studio album which will be named soon.
