Originally a rock record, the song underwent its first transformation when Whitney Houston covered it in 1990 and brought it into the Rhythm &amp; Blues (R&amp;B) genre. Houston\u2019s acapella solos, rubato singing styles, frequent vocal ornamentation, modulations, intense song climaxes, as well as the cover version\u2019s instrumentation are what brings \u201cHigher Love\u201d into the R&amp;B genre (Rischar, 2004). More recently, in 2019, Norwegian DJ Kygo revitalized the track once more, transforming Houston\u2019s R&amp;B cover into a successful EDM song. Using techniques within digital audio workspace (DAW) technology, such as vocal chopping, splicing, and adding new underlying rhythms and a drop, artists that specialize in EDM, such as Kygo, are able to successfully reimagine and popularize songs of the past, like \u201cHigher Love\u201d, and bring them into the EDM genre.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of today\u2019s Electronic Dance Music (EDM) artists reimagine the work of artists from the past, successfully bringing their pieces into the EDM genre with the help of new technologies. \u201cHigher Love\u201d, a song originally recorded by Steve Winwood in 1986 went through a genre transformation.
