Koe Wetzel And Jessie Murph To Release Music Video For “High Road” Tomorrow

Already charting on the Billboard Hot 100 , "High Road" is proving to be an early fan-favorite from Koe Wetzel's forthcoming album, 9 Lives. And tomorrow, he'll release the accompanying music video for the song which features guest vocals from Columbia labelmate Jessie Murph. In a teaser on Instagram, you can see both of them walking up to the microphone getting ready to sing their duet, and we'll soon see what they cooked up for the entire video when it drops at 11AM CST tomorrow: https://www.instagram.com/p/C8r9DspRUIb/ “High Road” was written by Koe along with Amy Allen, Carrie Karpinen and producer Gabe Simon, and finds Koe taking the “high road” both literally and metaphorically, as he uses a different approach to a conflict in a rocky relationship, deciding not to fight back but rather take some time to cool off (which also includes getting stoned, if that wasn’t obvious). Koe says the song shows off a different side of him, and is intended as another evolution in his music and sound: “‘High Road’ is a good example of how this album shows a different side of me than people might expect. Every record’s almost turning a new leaf, always a left turn because of how honest I am. But this? It’s what the people have been expecting from me, but we hadn’t gotten there yet. It’s a grown-up version of me.” The production is definitely in line with what we heard on the previous release “Sweet Dreams,” with a lot of R&B flavor that I do think he pulls off with his rock-infused unique brand of Texas country. And while there have been some people that were upset that it wasn’t a solo effort from Koe, Jessie's part has grown on me a lot since the first listen and I can totally see why Koe tapped her to be on this song with him. Sure, her delivery is a little bit different (especially if you've never heard any of her other music), but I do think it’s neat, and necessary, to hear the woman’s side of what went down with this fight through her voice. 9 Lives was produced predominantly by Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan’s Stick Season ) alongside a lineup of trusted collaborators like Josh Serrato, Carrie K and Sam Harris (X Ambassadors), and is due out everywhere on July 19th.
