American Idol Season 9 Finalist Tim Urban Releases Debut Single, Heart Of Me

American Idol season 9 contestant Tim Urban didn’t waste any time between wrapping the Idols live summer tour and readying new music. Perhaps that’s because the tour was precisely what inspired some of the music.

On Monday, November 8, Urban will release his debut EP, “Heart of Me,” to iTunes. NeonLimelight.com has your exclusive first listen to the set’s title-track.

The sentimental ballad is bolstered by swirling guitar rifts and heartfelt lyrics like, “Don’t know where I am but this isn’t home/Another empty room/I feel so alone/Just wanna go home/One more city passed/I wonder when I’ll see/The place that has the heart of me/Just wanna be free.”

“I wrote ‘Heart of Me’ while I was on tour,” Tim revealed to us. “I was in my hotel room and all I could think about was home and my family. It hit me that while I was out traveling the country doing what I love, a big part of my heart was back home with them.”
