Keith Urban Has a ‘New Man’ Mentality

Now that the hullabaloo surrounding Keith Urban's marriage to Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman has diluted a bit, the Aussie country star is back to the business at hand: music.

Urban has returned to the studio to finish recording his new album, the follow-up to the platinum-selling 'Be Here,' with producer Dann Huff. "We started recording the album earlier this year and after a short break away from it, which involved a low-key trip to Australia, I feel very much like a new man," Urban said on his Web site. "It's great to be back to finish it up."

The as-yet-unitlted effort is due later this year, with the first single coming to radio next month.
