Keith Urban

Keith Urban is an artist sui generis in country music: a native of Australia who headed to Nashville to break into the business and managed to work his way to the top of the country charts, then maintained a long, successful career.

There are some common denominators in his deep catalogue: he’s a killer guitar player who never misses a chance to shred, but it’s always in service of his songs, which display his ear for melodic hooks and an openhearted sensitivity.

He sharpened his execution throughout his career, developing a distinctive ballad style — some of his biggest hits were slow-burners, including “You’ll Think of Me” and “Blue Ain’t Your Color” — which he accentuated with his adept integration of contemporary pop, including collaborations with Pink and Nile Rodgers.

Gracie Abrams

Singer/songwriter Gracie Abrams specializes in a stylized, moody modern pop with a subtly shifting sound partially indebted to Lorde. Abrams cultivated an online following through a steady series of single releases appearing toward the end of the 2010s, experiencing a breakthrough in 2020 with the singles “21” and “I Miss You, I’m Sorry” from her EP Minor.

Abrams’ debut album, the Aaron Dessner co-penned Good Riddance, arrived in early 2023, and she was later nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy Award. While that album had charted well in the U.K. and Ireland, a year later, she landed in the Top Two in the U.S. (number two), U.K. (number one), and Australia (number one) with her sophomore album, The Secret of Us. Again co-written with Dessner, it featured a collaboration with Taylor Swift (“us.”).
