Keith Urban Shares Insight into the Making of His New Album, ‘High’

‘High’ is Keith Urban’s first album in four years, emerging after he scrapped an earlier project, 615, which he began working on in 2022.

Keith Urban’s new album, High, is a perfect reflection of his upbringing, who he is today and the kind of artist he strives to be. It has taken the Australian country singer four years to put out his latest album as it evolved from a previous project that he began working on in 2022 called 615 which he later scrapped. Although this collection didn’t come to fruition, Urban revealed he kept four of the 13 tracks – “Messed Up as Me,” “Daytona,” “Heart Like a Hometown”, and “Break the Chain.” With these songs, he started over, writing and recording for another year and a half until he finally created a new album that gave him that sound and depth he was looking for initially.
