The song’s uplifting message is complemented by NISSI’s powerful vocal delivery that carries the listener on a journey of hope and self-discovery.
Speaking on the inspiration being ‘Higher’, NISSI shares, “This song is a song of strength to celebrate the human spirit, an anthem for anyone who has ever dared to dream and pushed beyond their limits.
