High Like Heaven Leaves Liliana de la Rosa Suspended in Seduction, Sublimity and Full-Force Atmosphere –

Ribcage-quaking reverberation tears through the moody indie RnB pop tour de force, High Like Heaven by the visionary of soul, Liliana de la Rosa, whose sound sets a transcendentally high bar in production quality. Based in Sydney, de la Rosa brings a fully formed cinematic sensibility to her music, shaped by her work across film, theatre, photography and creative direction, and that command over atmosphere runs right through this release. The cinematic depth of the track, featuring Corrj, lands with full force; its intensity meets atmospheric sublimity in a way that demands full mind, body and soul attention, leaving you transfixed by her femme fatale aura drifting around salaciously siren-esque old-school chanteuse vocals.

That magnetic pull deepens through Corrj, whose equally seductive, indie-cool vocals add another current of heat to the track. Bringing him into the mix was an act of pure genius, sharpening the sensual voltage and giving the arrangement even greater dimensionality. de la Rosa already introduced a darker, unapologetically feminine presence through her debut Haunted by Roses, and High Like Heaven pushes further into that world of dangerous romance and emotionally charged alt-pop. She has the kind of presence that could send a track flying across platforms, then keep it lodged in the hearts of listeners who want their pop wicked and voracious.

High Like Heaven is now available on all major streaming platforms via this link.
