Edem Drops New Single 'Higher' Featuring KiDi

Ghanaian artist Edem Goget’em has unveiled his first single of 2025, a captivating track titled “Higher,” featuring Afrobeat star KiDi. The song seamlessly blends highlife and modern Afrobeat sounds, delivering an empowering message of hope, perseverance, and faith amid life’s trials and tribulations.

The idea for “Higher” was sparked by a memorable experience Edem had while watching a youth choir performance. “I was watching a youth choir sing a powerful praise song, and it hit me—why not take this beautiful melody and turn it into something that could resonate globally?” Edem explained. Drawing from the powerful message of the original Ghanaian church song, he transformed it into a highlife anthem that speaks to audiences from various backgrounds, both locally and internationally.

Beyond its melodious composition, “Higher” carries a profound message aimed at inspiring individuals who are struggling. The song sheds light on the harsh realities many young people face today, including poverty and the fear of failure. “We live in times where life feels increasingly difficult. The pressure of poverty weighs on the youth, and the fear of not succeeding is driving people to make choices that don’t align with their true desires,” Edem noted. The song’s message encourages people to hold on to hope and trust that things will improve with time. “It’s a reminder that, despite our challenges, we must keep faith that everything will eventually fall into place, and we will eventually count our blessings,” he added.

Edem has long been known for using his music to inspire and uplift, and with “Higher,” he stays true to this mission. The track serves as a motivational anthem, offering listeners a powerful source of encouragement for their daily lives. The collaboration with KiDi is particularly notable, as the artist brings his signature Afrobeat style to the track. When asked about KiDi’s involvement, Edem was enthusiastic. “KiDi on this song—because why not? He was the perfect fit,” Edem said with a smile. He went on to praise KiDi’s performance, noting, “His delivery was on point. He really captured the essence of the song, adding energy and a sense of optimism that perfectly complements the message we wanted to send.”

“Higher” is an empowering anthem designed to lift the spirits of those who may be feeling discouraged or weighed down by life’s challenges. Its hopeful and motivating lyrics make it an ideal track for those in need of a reminder to keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles they face. With its infectious rhythm and inspiring message, “Higher” is set to become a favorite for many.
