    it's not a premature work, that is what makes it a good album. mostly of its content treats about love and to have good feelings, probably this could be one of the 'best albums' from 2016.

    On Ripcord, time’s always slipping away, and that’s exciting. That excitement is kin to the grooves and rhythmic tricks propelling the album.

    The rest of Keith Urban's tenth studio album isn't quite that audaciously pop [as "Sun Don't Let Me Down"], but it does commit to modern rhythms throughout, with Urban's virtuoso picking on six-string banjo (or "ganjo") locking in with steady basslines and ticking drum tracks to fuse the rootsy precision of bluegrass with the uplifting persistence of EDM.

    All throughout Ripcord, the electronic elements are at the forefront and foundation, but it's to Urban's credit that this never feels desperate or pandering: it's a smooth, logical progression that makes his music feel sleek and mature.
