Singer Empress Miriam Simone does not hold back her praise of Rastafari on “Higher Heights”, her latest song, which was released May 12.
She wrote the spiritual track which is co-produced by Jah Works and her Dredda Records. It is a heartfelt ode to a faith that transformed her outlook on life 10 years ago.
“My Rastafarian faith is my inspiration and is the instrument that became the song. I was created to be Rasta but got my true spiritual Kabbalization eight years ago. My faith was always strong but the depth of my Christ consciousness within the revelation of Selassie I and the holy trinity within Yoshua Messiah, has sanctified my soul and spirit,” she said.
“Higher Heights” is the follow-up to “We Don’t Wanna Cry”, a song she recorded with Capleton. It was produced by Robert “Bobby Digital” Dixon, the acclaimed producer who died one year ago.
Bobby Digital also produced her 2020 album, “Amsterdam Revival”.
Born in Suriname, Empress Miriam Simone is based in The Netherlands where most of her songs are recorded and produced. Some of her early songs were done with Postmen, a hip hop group from Suriname.
One of Empress Miriam Simone’s first solo projects was the EP, “Follow my Dream”, also produced by Bobby Digital.
