Terra Lightfoot returns with her first new music of the year. “Higher & Higher” was written with Tyler Chester in “the sunshine in his backyard in Los Angeles,” says Terra. “I don’t know if I’ve ever released a co-write before, but I think this song is special. The beauty of this time in the world is that we are all feeling a little more free to do things we’ve never done, and that’s what “Higher & Higher” is all about. We recorded in LA with a crack band; Sam Weber on acoustic, Griffin Goldsmith (Dawes) on drums and Tyler on piano and organ. I sang my heart out and played my trusty SG. To bring it all together we had it mixed by my producer Gus van Go in Toronto.”

The infectious single is only the latest in what fans will agree has been a remarkable career. And to describe her decade-plus musical evolution as astonishing is something of an understatement. Along the way, Lightfoot's marathon tours have touched down in eight countries across four continents (including support slots for Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, Toad the Wet Sprocket, The Posies, The Sheepdogs, and Willie Nelson). She also conceived, created, curated, produced and co-headlined The Longest Road Show, an all-female touring revue. In October 2020, Lightfoot released Consider the Speed, recorded by Grammy Award winning producer Jay Newland at Memphis' legendary Royal Studios. In early 2022, Lightfoot launched her own label, Midnight Choir, with a cover of Leadbelly’s “Where Did you Sleep Last Night?” and fan-favourite original composition, “Sleepyhead”, covered by Sarah Blackwood of Walk Off The Earth.
