In cities with intense low-frequency traffic noise, birds have been observed to sing louder and at a higher pitch. Several studies argue that higher song pitch is an adaptation to reduce masking from noise, and it has even been suggested that the song divergence between urban and nonurban songs might lead to reproductive isolation. Here we present models of signal transmission to compare the benefits of raised song amplitude and song pitch in terms of sound transmission. We chose two bird species that sing with higher pitch in urban areas, the great tit (Parus major) and the blackbird (Turdus merula). For both species, we calculated communication distances in response to different levels of urban noise and in their natural forest habitats. We found that an increase in vocal pitch increased communication distance only marginally. In contrast, vocal amplitude adjustments had a strong and significantly larger effect. Our results indicate that frequency changes of urban songs are not very effective in mitigating masking from traffic noise. Increased song pitch might not be an adaptation to reduce signal masking but a physiological side effect of singing at high amplitudes or an epiphenomenon of urbanization that is not related to signal transmission.

This 1982 rocker, written by Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders is about runaway urban development around Akron, Ohio and the leveling of Akron's historic center to make way for an urban plaza (Wikipedia).

Keith Urban songs run the complete musical gamut. The singer-songwriter has written and recorded some of the best songs in recent Nashville history, ranging from uptempo summer songs to heartbreaking ballads.

Though it wasn't as big a chart success as some of the other songs on this list, "Stupid Boy" is one of the best Keith Urban songs. Written by Dave Berg, Deanna Bryant and Sarah Buxton, the song originally appeared on a Buxton album. Urban's rendition is self-mocking, recognizing his stupidity for letting the best thing that ever happened to him slip away: "She laid her heart and soul right in your hands / And you stole her every dream and crushed her plans," he sings to himself, in a puddle of regret.

Urban was really beginning to close in on his signature sound by the time he released "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me." The track shows off his vocal and instrumental prowess, and it also set the tone for what future songs would sound like. Co-written by Urban and Monty Powell, the song reached No. 1 on Billboard's country singles chart, becoming the first of three Urban singles in a row that would reach the top spot.

Many of Urban's best songs are based around his exemplary guitar playing, but "Tonight I Wanna Cry" centers around a simple,. but devastatingly effective piano figure. One of the darkest heartbreak ballads of Urban's career, the song, which he co-wrote with Powell, features some of his best wordplay: "Would it help if I turned a sad song on / "All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone / Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters / It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better."

Despite an enduring debate around the name, it is, for many, still unclear what precisely constitutes the genre of "urban contemporary," and how or why the meaning of the term has migrated over the last several decades. Industry stakeholders have been pushing to change the name since at least 2018.

On June 5, in response to the rapidly increasing momentum behind the fight for Black lives in the U.S. and around the world, Republic Records announced that it would "remove 'urban' from the label's verbiage in describing departments, employee titles and music genres," citing their belief that "over time the meaning and connotations of 'urban' have shifted and developed into a generalization of Black people in many sectors of the music industry, including employees and music by Black artists." 17dc91bb1f
