Ripcord will be Keith Urban’s eighth studio album, and the former American Idol judge calls it the “most exhilarating album to make” of all of them, “both musically and creatively.” The record will feature 12 tracks, all of which feature Urban as either writer, producer, or both.

“This album’s journey began back in January 2015 and took me to a lot of unexplored people and places,” Urban said in a press release. “The end result was the recording and exploring of more songs then I’ve ever done before and carving that down to what I felt constituted Ripcord.”

The latest single released from the forthcoming album, “Wasted Time,” was written by Urban, James Abrahart, and Greg Wells. The previous two singles from the record, “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16″ and “Break on Me,” both hit No. 1 on country charts.
