On Tuesday, 24 September 2024, NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon welcomes country music superstar Keith Urban, who chats about his new album, High, and also performs High is Keith Urban’s highly anticipated new album, scheduled for release on 20 September 2024, serving as a follow-up to his 2020 album, The Speed of Now Part 1, which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard 200.
Urban opens up about the album’s themes, which range from human connection and the joy of being alive to cutting loose, hope, and nostalgia. He also teases some shredding solos and straight-up fun, promising that the album is a honest and expressive part of his personal life revelations.
The album features a diverse range of tracks, including “Wildside,” “Straight Line,” and “Go Home W U,” a collaboration with Lainey Wilson. The current radio single, “Messed Up As Me,” offers a glimpse into the album’s exploration of personal life.
Joining Jimmy Fallon and Keith Urban is the talented actress Margaret Qualley, who stars in the 2024 satirical body horror film Substance, co-produced, written, and directed by Coralie Fargeat. Qualley shares her experience of portraying a younger version of a fading celebrity, played by Demi Moore, who turns to a black market drug with horrifying side effects.
Qualley describes the challenges of filming, including a panic attack while wearing a prosthetic suit, and reflects on how these difficulties ultimately contributed to a rewarding performance.
