Keith Urban Announces ‘High’ Album Details
Keith Urban’s forthcoming album, High, will be released on September 20. It’s Keith’s first album in four years.
Urban said, “I’ve always been drawn toward the subject of living in the moment because it’s all there is, and it’s hard to do. And these days, with so much ‘content’ flying at us, it can feel like drinking from a fire hose.”
He said of naming the new album, “What makes you ‘high’ can mean whatever you want it to mean. It might be physical, spiritual, herbal, meditative, chemical, or musical, but it’s definitely a place of utopia.”
Keith continued, “For me, it’s my family, my friends, and this rollercoaster musical journey I’m on. Playing guitar, writing songs, and the place where I always feel high – playing live. Every night, I get a chance to bring an energy and a release to people.”
But with the highs come lows, and for Urban, that came back in 2022. “At the time, I was on tour. I’d do a concert, go back to Nashville to record, do a concert, and come back to record, and over again. So, I thought I’d call the album 615. That’d keep me on track – focused and disciplined.”
The process ended up creating an unexpected result for the country superstar. He noted, “There was no continuity. The songs didn’t work well together. I learned that what I thought was a framework to create within turned out to be musically limiting.”
