Brittany Howard has teamed up with Amazon Original for their cover of Jackie Wilson’s "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher.”

Released today, the cover is featured on Amazon Music’s Best of Amazon Originals playlist. When it comes to the song, Howard stated:

“I first heard Higher and Higher in Ghostbusters II. I became a huge fan of the song and of course of Jackie Wilson’s version. My solo band started playing the song on tour and it became one of those special moments of the show where you could feel the entire room locked in and the energy reaching the next level. I chose to release this song because it reminds me of those special nights with my band and for its message that through love we can be lifted up higher and higher.”

Howard will be performing at the Grammys on Sunday (March 14), which will air on CBS starting at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST. The singer isn’t a stranger when it comes to the awards ceremony. Through Alabama Shakes, Howard won four Grammys, including one for Best Alternative Music Album for 2015’s Sound & Color. This year, Howard is nominated for five Grammys, including two for "Stay High" from their 2019 debut solo album Jaime.
