The song is the latest from his forthcoming 11th studio album
Keith Urban has released “Heart Like A Hometown,” the latest from his forthcoming 11th studio album, High, due on September 20th via UMG Nashville.
“When I was a kid, our family moved around a lot,” Urban says of the track. “By the fifth grade, I’d been in four schools and lived in nine different houses. So, a ‘hometown’ felt more about my family, and a place inside of me, somewhere I could find my center. It’s a theme that’s always spoken to me. Songs like Don Williams’ ‘If Hollywood Don’t Need You’ and Glen Campbell’s ‘Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in LA)’ and a song I recorded on my Fuse album, “Come Back To Me.” Those songs and this one all share a similar feeling, a kind of grounded safety, familiarity and a place where I can always find ME.”
Urban has thus far released four songs from High including its current single “Messed Up As Me,” as well as “Straight Line,” “Go Home W U” with Lainey Wilson, “Wildside” and now “Heart Like A Hometown.”
The ambiguity of the word piqued Urban’s curiosity and so did the name of the album. “What makes you ‘high’ can mean whatever you want it to mean,” says Urban. “It might be physical, spiritual, herbal, meditative, chemical or musical, but it’s definitely a place of utopia.”
Urban will be launching Keith Urban’s High in Vegas, ten exclusive shows at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, on Friday, October 4th. Additional shows will take place on October 5, 9, 11 and 12, as well as February 14, 15, 19, 21 and 22 in 2025.
