Preceded by four sublime singles in the form of “Easy Lover” (featuring Big Sean), “Let It Die,” “Like A Saviour” and “By the End of the Night,” the decorated UK electropop star has delivered her fifth studio album. The eleven-track LP is accompanied by an expanded deluxe edition that features five bonus tracks, including “All By Myself,” her recent collaborative single with Alok and Sigala.

“[Higher Than Heaven is] about being passionately in love,” she explains in an official statement. “But it’s a hyper form of love, almost like a drug induced feeling. It feels almost artificial and there’s the potential for a crash.”
