Keith Urban exchanges the lyrics on stage in Las Vegas and introduces the chapter “Euphoric”.

“Life is about contrasts – highs, lows, confidence, insecurity, love found, love lost, clarity, fuzziness, discipline and the next minute you don't care at all.” Sexy, warm summers and lonely, cold winters. This album reflects all of that in different ways,” Urban said in part in a statement HIGH made its long-awaited debut on Friday (September 20). “Of all the things that have changed in my life, one thing has remained a constant. I love making music. The feeling of writing a song that is truly magical, bringing that song to life in the studio, then playing it on stage and watching complete strangers sing every word. It's like walking on the moon (not that I've done it YET, but an astronaut has never stood on stage and shredded…) My desire is the “flow state”, and that's exactly what it is happened when we started this album HIGH. It just flowed and I feel like the spirit of the whole album really reflects that. I hope you feel that too.”

Urban also included renditions of “Blue Ain't Your Color” and closed his set with “Wasted Time,” a 2016 hit that featured a lyric change from “had the guns on the radio” to “had the guns on the radio.” included.Lainey Wilson on the radio.” Urban teamed up with the reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year for the only duet on his latest album, “Go Home WU.” Maggie Baugh came in for Wilson when Urban performed the song during his exclusive iHeartCountry album release party earlier this week.
