After achieving his best-selling solo single to date, «Higher Power“, currently at No. 10 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart, the Grammy-winning songwriter, platinum solo artist and voice of creed, SCOTT STAPPhas released his self-titled fourth studio album, «Higher Power“, through Napalm Records.
SCOTT STAPP has also revealed their first duet: the passionate acoustic ballad «If These Walls Could Talk«, with the queen of rock DOROTHY. Stunning in its authenticity about the fall from grace and the long journey back to the top, the acoustic ballad showcases two Grammy-worthy vocal performances.
The release of the track is accompanied by an equally passionate official video, directed by Nick Peterson (Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, Evanescence, Dorothy).
DOROTHY it states:
«For me it has been a great honor to collaborate with SCOTT STAPP in such a beautiful, raw and emotional song. “I’ve been a fan of his all my life and I hope this song has a positive impact on the world.”
SCOTT declares:
«Recording this album was cathartic for me as I went through the kind of life challenges we all experience. DOROTHY reaches the album’s turning point, that moment when you recognize how far you’ve come and commit to moving forward. Her performance is such a moving contribution to the song that I’m grateful I didn’t do it alone.”
«Higher Power» describes a metamorphosis wrought by loss, frustration, betrayal and near-defeat. It features outstanding performances by DOROTHYthe god of the guitar Yiannis Papadopoulos and a co-writing appearance from the multi-Grammy-winning composer and musician Steve McEwan. The album was produced by Marti Frederiksen and Scott Stevens and continue to «The Space Between the Shadows” of STAPP in 2019, which debuted at No. 3 on the US Current Rock Albums chart, the US Current Hard Music Albums chart, and the UK Official Rock & Metal Chart.
