Keith Urban on His New Album, ‘High,’ Why Performing at a Gas Station Is as Much Fun as an Arena, and Curing the Blues With ‘Whistling in the Dark’ Songs
Keith Urban discusses his new album, 'High,' doing surprise shows at places like gas stations, and why even bad moods draw him toward buoyant songs.
Keith Urban ‘s new album is titled ‘High,’ and there’s a reason you probably won’t ever find him releasing one called ‘Low’ (besides the fact that David Bowie already took that one) — the country-pop superstar is known for his buoyant material. In an interview with Variety, he explores where that comes from with him, including the fact that he can get the blues as much as anybody, but some of these upbeat songs are emotionally aspirational tunes… “whistling in the dark” numbers, as he calls them. No wonder — holy shit.” You know, these stories of your mom or your dad, or your brother or your high school teacher, whoever has just caused so much trauma and destruction in your childhood that you’ve now carried into adulthood, it’s not (your) fault that that happened.
