Higher Than HeavenartistHigher Than Heaven is the fifth studio album by English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding. It was released on 7 April 2023, through Polydor Records, serving as a follow-up to her fourth studio album, Brightest Blue (2020). Written largely in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Goulding deliberately shifted the album's focus away from the deep introspection of its predecessor, describing it as her "least personal album" to date in favour of escapism and pure thrills. The album was preceded by four singles, "Easy Lover" featuring Big Sean, "Let It Die", "Like a Saviour", and "By the End of the Night".
