Keith Urban To Join 'The Voice' Season 25 As 'Mega Mentor'

NBC has announced that Keith Urban will join "The Voice" Season 25 as "Mega Mentor."

A Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum artist and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Urban is set to release a new album later this year, which will include "Straight Line" and its first single, "Messed Up As Me."

Urban will join superstar coaches Chance the Rapper, Dan + Shay, John Legend and Reba McEntire to mentor the remaining artists who have made it through the Battle Rounds, as each team prepares for the Knockouts, beginning on April 8.

During the Knockout Rounds, artists are paired against a teammate once more but select their own song to perform individually while their direct competitor watches and waits.

With his deep-seated passion for music, vast performing experience, versatility and musical virtuosity, Urban will provide invaluable advice to the artists alongside the coaches to bolster their unique strengths and elevate their performances.

Coaches alone choose the winner from their team to advance to the Playoffs, the last round before the Live Shows. Each coach has one steal in the Knockouts.

Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" is airing on Mondays (8-10 p.m. ET/PT) and Tuesday (9-10 p.m. ET/PT) on NBC and the next day on Peacock.

"28th of June comes out tonight i hope everyone is ready to cry," Moroney posted on social media ahead of the song's release.

The piano ballad sees Moroney exploring the devastating aspects of moving on a from a breakup. "28th of June it was me and you / Rose petals on the bed and I love you / Written on a happy one year card / Here's to forever, you have my heart," she sings.

"Drank a bottle of red and opened up another/Danced around the room holding onto each other/Like we were never gonna let go/I was too naïve to know," she goes on.

Moroney recorded the song at Blackbird Studio in Nashville. Her frequent collaborator Kristian Bush produced the track.
