Keith Urban Celebrates His Animalistic Wild Side With New Album
In his most recent release, the renowned artist showcases a contrasting aspect of himself, conveying both the triumphant moments and difficult experiences he has faced.
With this new album, Keith Urban delivers a powerful and introspective musical experience that is sure to resonate with fans and newcomers alike.
**From animalistic to hopeful**
Urban has spoken publicly about overcoming his struggles with substance abuse. His latest album explores the emotional turmoil he endured after a heartbreaking split that led to his struggles with substance abuse.
The singer and songwriter co-wrote several tracks on "High," including the song "Break the Chain." Urban has been transparent about his journey to sobriety after battling addiction, crediting his wife Nicole Kidman for helping him overcome his struggles.
The couple's daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, also make appearances in the music video for one of the album's tracks.
“I’ve got a dutiful, responsible, reliable side. And I’ve got this animalistic, wild, reckless, irresponsible, ‘What does this button do?,’” Urban said. “The spirit of those two things is very much a part of who I am, and this album hopefully captures that.”
Even after attaining notable success as a country-rock artist, Keith Urban persisted in struggling with addiction until he met his wife, Nicole Kidman, who provided the necessary support and encouragement for him to overcome his personal demons.
He credits his wife Nicole Kidman for her unwavering support and guidance, which have significantly contributed to his ongoing recovery from addiction and the enduring success of their marriage.
In a heartfelt display of appreciation at the esteemed AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony held in June 2024, Keith Urban paid a touching tribute to his loving wife Nicole Kidman.
“That’s the point right there where she really should’ve just walked,” Urban told Oprah Winfrey in 2010. “I’m just so glad she didn’t, and she made a decision to turn around and initiate ultimately this intervention, and it was done in such a way that the love in that room at that moment was just right. I was like, ‘Put the cuffs on, let’s go.'
