@whitneyhouston: On June 28, 2019, "Higher Love" with Kygo was released as a single. “Higher Love” is a 2019 collaboration between Whitney Houston and Kygo, built around a vocal recording Houston made nearly 30 years earlier. The song is a reworking of the 1986 hit “Higher Love” by Steve Winwood. Houston recorded her own version of “Higher Love” in 1989. That recording was released only as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of her album I'm Your Baby Tonight in 1990 and was largely unknown outside dedicated fans. In 2019, Houston's estate worked with Kygo, who created a new dance-pop/tropical-house production around her original vocals. The song reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. It peaked at No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Houston's highest-charting UK single in many years and her first posthumous UK Top 10 hit. The track was certified multi-platinum and became one of the most successful posthumous releases of Houston's career. Many listeners viewed it as a respectful way to introduce Houston's powerful vocals to a new generation. The track blends her late-1980s vocal performance with Kygo's modern electronic production, creating a song that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. #whitneyhouston #kygo
