Brittany Howard has released an Amazon Original cover of Jackie Wilson’s "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher", ahead of her performance at the 2021 Grammys.

Having been confirmed as a performer at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards yesterday (7 March), Brittany Howard has shared a cover of Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher", recorded exclusively for Amazon Music.

Howard says of the song, "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."

The Alabama Shakes member has been nominated for five Grammys this year, including Best Rock Song for "Stay High", and Best Alternative Music Album for Jaime.

Brittany Howard's cover of Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keep Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" is out now on Amazon Music.
