Edwards carries young singer ‘Higher’ with new single
Gospel singers Jermaine Edwards and Rushawn Ewears teamed up to record the inspirational single Higher. Many fans got a taste of it on his Instagram account when the ‘Hallelujah’ singer, who penned the lyrics, featured a demo with Ewears.
“Every day may not be the best, really, but I’ll keep the fight in me; I’ll never stop trying until I reach the sky,” the lyrics offers.
If the teaser is anything to go by, then the song will prove to be a spirit lifter for anyone who invests time to listen.
Edwards did not withhold his pleasure in the final results, as he posted, “So proud of him, soaring to new heights! With God, embrace the journey of rising higher.”
Since Ewears recorded Edwards’ song, It’s a Beautiful Day on video in 2017 as a student at Top Hill Primary School in St. Elizabeth, it picked up new life and went viral after a YouTuber named The Kiffness found and remixed the video in December 2022.
The video racked up over a million views and also earned Edwards and Ewears a Sony UK licencing deal.
Edwards has taken Ewears under his wing, and this latest project with the youngster is evidence of his involvement in his career.
There were many complimentary comments under the social media post:
