Keith Urban mixes country, rock, and pop to hit new heights with HIGH, and he gets some help from friends like Lainey Wilson.

Keith Urban is no stranger to country music success, and with the release of his eleventh studio album, HIGH, he's proving once again why he's one of its biggest stars. The four-time Grammy award-winner and three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year returns with an 11-song collection that pulses with energy and emotion through his signature blend of country and rock. It takes fans on a high-octane ride through Urban’s world while staying true to the sound that has earned him a global following.

The album kicks off with the infectious “Go Home W U,” a collaboration with reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, Lainey Wilson. The song fuses Urban's trademark guitar playing with Wilson's undeniable charm and ends up sounding like an instant anthem. The chemistry between the two is palpable, making it one of the album's highlights. Urban's love for blending country and rock shines on HIGH, with tracks like “Chuck Taylors” paying homage to the rock-and-roll spirit that has always simmered beneath his country roots. Fans always appreciate his ability to write lyrics that are as catchy as they are poignant, capturing the highs and lows of life with the ease of a seasoned storyteller, and things are no different here.

The hit single “Messed Up As Me” is a heart-wrenching ballad that showcases Urban's vocal range and vulnerability. It's the kind of song that hits hard and deeply, the story the words tell feeling both personal and universal. Expect it to become a classic of Urban’s catalog. With guitar riffs that soar and a melody that sticks, it’s easy to see why the song has climbed the charts. With HIGH, Urban proves he’s not slowing down anytime soon. Whether it’s the foot-stomping, feel-good tracks or the introspective ballads, the album offers something for everyone.

Born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, Keith Urban’s rise to country music superstardom is the story of dreams. Since releasing his debut self-titled album in 1999, he’s gone on to be global sensation, selling out arenas and captivating fans with his unique blend of heartfelt lyrics, virtuoso guitar playing, and genre-bending sound. His ability to seamlessly fuse elements of country, rock, and pop has kept him at the forefront of popular music for over two decades.
