This 2019 remix of Higher Love by Whitney Houston is really catchy. I especially like the dynamics pumping once the song gets going. She made the original cover in 1990 of Steve Winwood's original 1986 version, below.
So, how did Kygo create this track seven years after she had passed? He legally obtained her voice soundtrack from her estate. I haven't seen this explained anywhere, but there's no other explanation as he certainly didn't pirate it.
The "official" instrumental from some third party, as claimed in the video title. It certainly isn't official, but sounds pretty good and shows the lyrics for the missing vocals. This is another song that sounds better with the vocals, which are the whole point of this track.
Here's the making of video for this song.
The Steve Winwood original. This remaster sounds really sharp and clear.
