Afrojazz maestro King Mike Aremu releases a new single, Higher Than The Highest! This is coming about 15 months after the release of his last album Sound Of the Spirit (SOS).
This is a very groovy, high-tempo Gospel song that will definitely get you on your feet. It was self-produced, alongside Toluwanimi Oni a.k.a Whitekeyz Tolu.
“I am so excited about this track as it shows a different side of me. It’s not the kind of track you’d have easily guessed was by me” ~ Mike Aremu
