Keith Urban fans, rejoice!

It's just been announced that the singer's new album, Fuse, will be released on Sept. 10.

"I really wanted to challenge myself musically," Urban said in a press release regarding his decision to work with various producers on the album. "[It] has been so inspiring and liberating."

Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman's other half has been named one of "country's hottest guys" by People magazine.

Although Urban doesn't top the list (that honor went to Kenny Chesney), he is in pretty good company nonetheless. Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and Gary Allan are some of the handsome hunks who also made the cut.

Urban is set to kick off his "Light the Fuse Tour 2013" on July 18 in Cincinnati.
