New York, NY (Top40 Charts) GRAMMY Award-nominated vocalist, songwriter and producer Malika Tirolien�s conscious lyrics and soaring vox are on dynamic display in this, her compelling new single �GROW� - available now. �This song serves as a reminder to enjoy the process wherever you may be in your life,� Tirolien shares. �It�s about doing the best you can with what you can control.�
The fourth single to land from the Montreal-based artist�s newly released sophomore album, HIGHER, the 11-track LP is the second instalment in her tetralogy marking the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. The series� premiere offering, 2014�s Sur La Voie Ensoleill�e, saw Tirolien�s powerful sonic poetry explore themes surrounding the Earth � it was about roots, and feeling grounded, she says, whereas HIGHER arrives as more spiritual and cosmic.

�HIGHER is like a map through the world of somebody�s mind,� Tirolien continues. �I see that person as a
Black woman navigating between being a warrior, and wanting to cultivate her loving side at the same time. She�s struggling to find balance between her will to fight, and her surrender to love� The necessity to stay grounded, and the calling to elevate and fly.
�Her journey, which started with Sur La Voie Ensoleill�e, is continuing with HIGHER � but she no longer walks, she levitates.�
