REVIEW: "Blue Ain't Your Color" by Keith Urban

Coming hot off his latest number one hit, "Wasted Time", Keith Urban has released his fourth single off his Ripcord album.

"Blue Ain't Your Color" is a slow, catchy and bluesy tale of what a man see's when he see's a girl who has been treated wrongly by another guy. Urban is telling the story in a creative way, comparing what blue looks good on...

"Blue looks good on the sky
Looks good on that neon buzzin' on the wall"

But, he then turns it around and tells the girl what blue doesn't look good on...

"But darling, it don't match your eyes
I'm tellin' you
You don't need that guy
It's so black and white
He's stealin' your thunder
Baby, blue ain't your color"

Urban's vocals are pitch perfect and the melody is different from what Urban usually puts out to radio. His previous singles, "Wasted Time" and "John Cougar, John Deer, John 3:16" are more upbeat and required more production but "Blue Ain't Your Color" is doubled-down, relaxed and focuses more on Urban's vocals.

Fans can catch Keith this summer on the ripCord World Tour with Brett Eldredge and Maren Morris and then Keith heads back home to New Zealand and Australia with Carrie Underwood (in support of her Storyteller Tour) in December. More information can be found here.
