Kygo’s “Higher Love” has reached even greater heights after joining Spotify’s elusive billion-stream club.
It’s not hard to see why. The Norwegian dance music superstar’s 2019 remake of the Whitney Houston classic blended the untouchable diva’s powerful vocals with his sun-soaked beats, creating a modern anthem that effortlessly bridges generations.
Houston’s voice, already immortal, found new life in Kygo’s fresh arrangement, which feels eternally summer. It’s the kind of track that somehow fits any moment: a late-night drive, an electric music festival or a breezy morning with coffee.
“It was an honor to get the opportunity to work on this amazing track, thanks to Whitney’s estate for believing in me,” Kygo wrote in a celebratory X post.
“Higher Love” is Kygo’s fourth song to join Spotify’s three-comma club after “It Ain’t Me,” “Firestone” and “Stole the Show.” The track ultimately topped Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart in the US, becoming the third for Kygo and 14th for Houston to do so.
