video premiere: progressive r&b soulsinger jae franklin gets “higher” with carefree damien sandoval-directed video

“Higher” is the latest video from UAE-based progressive soulsinger Jae Franklin. Inspired by a toxic situation experienced by a friend, Franklin wrote this warm song about confronting personal issues head-on to then move forward towards something ‘higher’ and more fulfilling. Which we see through the eyes of two best friends on a mission for carefree fun and indulgence in simplicity. “The song was inspired by a friend’s toxic, long-term romantic relationship. I could only give him so much advice so I wrote a song about his situation from my perspective. “Higher” expresses how I would feel if I were in my friend’s predicament,” Franklin tells AFROPUNK.
