Keith Urban will drop his first new album in four years, 'High,' in September, and he's released a new single, 'Wildside,' too.
, saying it was borne out of a “prior record” he started working on in 2022 but never finished. He went on to call“completely expressive, true, honest and is so much more of what I actually wanted to say when making that scrapped record. I hope these songs bring you joy, levity, some new understanding, energy, and escape!”
As for “Wildside,” it’s a delirious blast of country rock about a good girl with a, well, wild side. Urban said in a statement that the character in the song was partly inspired by the one Joan Cusack plays in: “She’s the principal of a school by day, all prim and proper. And then, a few tequilas at night and all bets are off.” Of the new project, 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.
Urban originally began working on a new album during a busy 2022, when he was constantly flying between concerts and recording studios in Nashville. He had a title for the record,, and thought the process would keep him “focused and disciplined,” but it ultimately led to a record with “no continuity.”
He continued: “The songs didn’t work together. I learned that what I thought was a framework to create within, turned out to be musically limiting.” , Urban became intrigued by the multiple meanings the word can have: “What makes you ‘high’ can mean whatever you want it to mean,” he said. “It might be physical, spiritual, herbal, meditative, chemical or musical, but it’s definitely a place of utopia. For me it’s my family, my friends, and this rollercoaster musical journey I’m on.
