LANCE SAVALI AND RITA ORA BRING THE SUMMER ANTHEM WITH 'HIGHER'

After clocking over 1.9 million listeners per month, Lance Savali serves summer on a platter with ‘Higher’, a lush new house single alongside personal friend and powerhouse vocalist Rita Ora, out now.

The Samoan, New Zealand-born creative has long been renowned across the dance world, touring and performing alongside names including Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Jennifer Lopez. Now confidently stepping into his own lane as a producer and DJ, Lance Savali channels that same creative drive into a colorful summer release built around Rita Ora’s unmistakable topline. Following the momentum of ‘Devotion’ and ‘Ain’t No Party’ - which have a cumulative 60M streams and gained support from BTS’ V, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri and Nicole Scherzinger – ‘Higher’ continues a breakout run that feels increasingly hard to ignore.

‘Higher’ oozes personality from the moment the needle drops, pairing Rita Ora’s attitude-driven vocal with an upbeat production from Lance Savali that feels playful, polished and built for the season. Savali keeps the touch light and the energy high, threading bouncing rhythms and alluring melodic hooks into a groove made for everything from a poolside party to the festival mainstage. It has all the gloss needed for a crossover summer single, but enough snap in the drums and bite in the vocal to let it shine on the dancefloor. Underneath its contagious groove, Savali continues to show his growth as a producer, infusing a nuanced touch that reflects a creator who has seen the party from every angle and, better yet, knows exactly how to ignite it.

The release shines a light on Lance Savali as he continues to gain creative momentum, with more than 190 million global streams and radio backing from stations like Capital Dance and KISS Dance.
