Following the news of a Creed reunion, singer Scott Stapp has released a new single, “Higher Power.” The track features Stapp’s characteristic brand of melodic hard rock, with powerful vocals and heavy guitars.
“Life’s mysteries can be unraveled by listening to one’s inner voice,” Stapp said regarding “Higher Power” in a press release. “For me, that means leaning on my faith in God and listening to His voice to guide me through the struggles and darkness. For others, whether it’s through art, nature, science, family, or a combination of all, tapping into a higher power is an individualized process that requires an open mind and a willingness to flow with a force that’s greater than the individual.”
Stapp wrote “Higher Power” with Scott Stevens, who co-produced the track with Marti Fredericksen. The tune was mixed by Chris Baseford and mastered by Ted Jensen.
“Higher Power” — whose title calls to mind Creed’s monster hit “Higher” — will arrive on Stapp’s forthcoming solo album, with details yet to be revealed. The song marks Stapp’s first new music since his 2019 LP, The Space Between the Shadows.
As mentioned, Creed recently announced that they would reunite for the first time in more than a decade. The band will headline the Summer of ’99 Cruise in April 2024, leading a bill that also includes 3 Doors Down, Buckcherry, Fuel, Tonic, and more.
