How High - Natalie Clark (Pop) This track just comes right out of the gate as a bop. At first, it’s very much giving Lorde’s “Royals”—a “body rocking back and forth” kinda jam punctuated by crisp snaps and a bouncing 808. Natalie’s voice is strong, but with an airy huskiness to it that really lends itself to harmonic layering, which is spread throughout the entire track like icing on a cake. But when we get the chorus, the production kicks it up a notch with keys and horns, giving you a very sing-along-able track that now feels a little more “Empire State of Mind.” The entire song is structured on a constant build, which lends not only to the title, but also to the song’s inspirational messaging telling the listener that the sky is the limit. Other than the top of your playlist, we can hear this song on a commercial campaign.
Best Lyric: “Always looking up, wanna be in the skyline.”
