Keith Urban will release his 13th studio album Flow State on June 12. The project features a mix of classic yacht rock covers alongside one original track, “We Go Back” featuring Michael McDonald.

Produced by Urban and Dann Huff and recorded at his Nashville studio, the album features collaborations with Little Big Town and John Mayer. The project highlights songs like “Baby Come Back” and “Just the Two of Us,” alongside the original track and a rendition of “Summer Breeze,” both available now.

Urban said the album came together organically while breaking in his brand-new studio, which used to be called the Tracking Room.

“It really started from me buying a studio in town…It’s been around a long time and I acquired that studio in ‘24. Spent about nine months getting it TLC back up and running. By the time it was ready to record in, I was hitting the road. And so, it was one of those frustrating things where, you know, I wasn’t going to get to record there very much. And so, I was trying to find something that would just be simple and fun to do to just record,” he explained in an interview with SiriusXM’s The Highway. “I called Dann Huff and I go, ‘How about we just do one or two yacht rock songs just just to break the studio in for a bit of fun.’ And that was it. There was no big preconceived idea. And we recorded two songs and the session band came in and we all looked at each other and we went, ‘These sound really good.’”

They began with just a few songs and before he knew it, a full album had come together.

In another statement, he shared that the project’s laid-back sound is meant to serve as both an escape and a reminder of what really matters in life.

“The origins of this kind of music was, in certain ways, a reaction and an antidote to the stresses of the times. Its sole mission (and soul mission) is unchanged…to bring us together and remind us that life is happening NOW- the eternal now- and we have far more in common than not. I hope wherever you hear this album you can feel the exhale, comfort and optimism these songs were originally written by and for.”

Urban is set to perform at several festivals and events throughout 2026, including ACM New Wave: Country’s Beach Bash in Las Vegas on May 16 and CMA Fest in Nashville on June 5.
