Michael McDonald). Produced by Urban and Dann Huff and recorded at Urban\u2019s \u201cThe Sound\u201d studio in Nashville, Flow State is an easygoing seaside soundtrack that brings the good vibes.<br>&nbsp;<br>\u201cThe origins of this kind of music was, in certain ways, a reaction and an antidote to the stresses of the times. Its sole mission (and soul mission) is unchanged\u2026to bring us together and remind us that life is happening NOW- the eternal now- and we have far more in common than not.
