HIGH [Tangerine Vinyl] [Barnes & Noble Exclusive]

The platinum-selling, Grammy Award-winning Aussie-American country star’s 12th studio long-player, High, sees Keith Urban deliver a punchy and emotional set of country-rockers and ballads that plays to all his strengths. The aptly named 12-song set is rooted in themes of euphoria, from physical and spiritual forms to the goosebumps that rise to meet the chorus of your favorite song. Highlights include the pulsing, life-affirming “Straight Line,” the heartfelt “Messed Up as Me,” and the soulful, groove-laden “Go Home W U,” the latter of which sees Urban teaming up with Lainey Wilson. ~ James Christopher Monger
