Maximillian made quite the impression this year with his stunning mashup cover of London Grammar and Frank Ocean. If you caught the particular release, you already know his ability to sing is unquestionable, and the talent is on display once more with the much-anticipated release of his debut single, “Higher”. Although the piano-led introduction to “Higher” is of a softer persuasion, the strong allure of Maximillian’s soulful voice has you hanging on every word. From this understated opening, we're thrust into a hazy realm of dark pop riffs, each punctuated with a lively alternative R&B beat, and the progression makes for a truly impressive single—one that proves Maximillian’s abilities are more than that of a cover artist, but of a budding star.
