Chris Stapleton: Higher (180g) 2-LP

A man in demand

Chris Stapleton is one of the few country stars to have managed to make a name for himself outside the USA. in 2023, the eight-time Grammy winner will release his new album "Higher" and is set to increase his fan base worldwide.

The talented American artist has already sold more than 8 million records with his first three studio albums, half of them with his debut "Traveller" from 2015 alone.

The secret of Chris Stapleton's success is his powerful voice full of soul and his great knack for catchy songwriting. Both qualities have not only taken him to the top of the US charts, he is also in great demand as a collaborator. Whether Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran or Adele, the 45-year-old has already sung or co-written songs with many musical greats.

Chris Stapleton recorded his fifth solo album "Higher" once again in the country mecca of Nashville. He is supported by his wife Morgane as a backing singer on many of the songs. Both are also named as co-producers. However, Dave Cobb, a professional for authentic country and Americana sounds who has already worked with Lady Gaga and Jason Isbell, among others, was mainly behind the controls.

The result is a great and varied country rock album with which Chris Stapleton should once again find himself at the top of the charts.
