Higher Power
"Higher Power" is the fourth studio album by American musician Scott Stapp, released on 15 March 2024 by Napalm Records. It marks Stapp's first album in five years, following The Space Between the Shadows (2019). The album features a heavier sound with influences from alternative metal, post-grunge, and hard rock. The title track opens with a confession: "Forty feet down falling head first off the edge / Without an angel." It is a song about hitting rock bottom, about the moment you are ready to meet your maker. The lyrics are full of the kind of emotional honesty that makes the best rock songs work. The album was recorded at studios in Nashville and Los Angeles, and it was produced by Marti Frederiksen, Scott Stevens, Stapp, and Kevin Gruft. It is a record that sits with darkness and still searches for light. What I find striking is how the song turns despair into a search. It is not just a song about falling; it is a song about reaching for something higher. That tension is what gives it its power.
