Higher Level is the 3rd album from the vocalist Fikir Amlak and the producer Brizion, but their first on the Akashic Records Reggae label. Lyrically, Fikir Amlak explores universal truths like acceptance (Journey Goes On), impermanence (Better Must Come) and accountability (It’s On You). Musically, Brizion delivers experimental, emotional and entrancing instrumentals that cannot be defined by a particular genre. Together, the project has a modern vibe that goes beyond the reggae/dub we are accustomed to hearing from the duo, although we believe it's more relatable to a wider audience. Essentially, Higher Level elevates the listener with one heartfelt masterpiece after another. - RWU
