Song of the week- Tyketto - Higher Than High
Higher Than High is, in my estimation, classic Tyketto, where difficulties in life are seen and named but hope and, more importantly, music, is the thing that gets us through,” comments Danny Vaughn. “It's the first single from our new album which we think is going to be a real favorite with the fans. The song and the album say ‘play me loudly and take me for a drive.’”
Throughout Closer To The Sun, Tyketto speak to the listener about true life loves, losses and pleasures. From the title track’s triumphant, anthemic appreciation of love’s power, to the punchy rawness built to make fists rise and hearts race of “Hit Me Where It Hurts”, to the power balladry of “The Picture”, Tyketto continue to confidently stride the same musical terrain as the likes of Whitesnake and Aerosmith, with the added bonus of being fresh to the ears of many.
Joined by Harry Scott Elliott on guitar, Ged Rylands on keyboards, Chris Childs (Thunder) on bass and Johnny Dee (Doro) on drums, Vaughn leads a lineup that brings exceptional performances and undeniable fire to every track, reaffirming Tyketto as one of rock’s most respected and enduring names. Closer To The Sun was recorded across multiple studios in the UK and Europe, including Flip Flop Studios and the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales.
