The Single Notez 🎶:

➕ Nice vocals by iann dior; I like the warmth of his tone, it’s very pleasing

➕ I like how dior rises to the occasion on the chorus

➕ Expectedly, Clean Bandit provide a colorful backdrop – pummeling drums, drum ‘runs,’ exuberant and rhythm synths – the whole shebang

➕ CB shine their absolute brightest on the post-chorus (drop section)

➕ the form is straightforward and easy to follow comprised of verse, pre-chorus, chorus, post-chorus (drop)

➕ The second verse by dior remains melodic, but it’s a bit more assertive – more hip-hop oriented

➕ Simple but catchy, crowd-pleasing chorus – screams H-I-T 

➖ Not the second coming – it won’t change your life – but it’ll enhance your playlist

 Memorable lyric:

“But when you look at me
I’m higher, higher, higher
Eyes on me
I’m higher, higher, higher
Nothing matters at all when I see you with your eyes on me
I’m higher, higher, higher.”

🔏 In Closing: UK dance collective Clean Bandit enlist the services of breakout Puerto Rican artist iann dior for their bright, hella enjoyable single, “Higher.”
