Kaylee Bell pays tribute to music superstar in new song 'Keith'

The small town Kiwi gal has paid tribute to one of her biggest inspirations.

Kaylee Bell's new single is paying tribute to one of her idols, and one of the biggest names in country music - Keith Urban.

Her song, 'Keith', is a rousing celebration of Keith Urban's music and career, whose trajectory to country music superstar status has been a source of inspiration for this fellow 'small town' NZ'er.

Kaylee uses a collection of Urban's song titles to inspire a simple relatable story of young love.

"Keith was a song that I had the idea for in my sleep, and still features some of the lyrics that I recorded into my phone that night. I sat on the idea for over a year as I hadn't really settled on how to bring the song to life, but in Nashville last year, while recording with Lindsay, I took the idea to a writing session with he and Phil Barton (One More Shot). The song really wrote itself and was one of the best writing days I've had in Nashville."

Kaylee Bell's Keith is out now through Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes.
