Higher is a studio album by Polish singer Ala Boratyn, released in 2007 under the mononym Ala.

Overview[edit]

It was Ala's debut solo release after the departure from Blog 27 in October 2006, and remains her only full-length solo album to date. The material consists of pop rock material with elements of electronica, ska and reggae.[1] Ala co-wrote most songs herself[2] and collaborated with musicians from Polish rock bands T.Love and Hey.[3] The original title of "I Never Know" was "You Don't Know", "Darling" was earlier known as "Big Chance", and "Strange New Feeling" is a re-worked version of "Ska". "Angel" was chosen as the first single at the end of 2007, followed by "Don't Believe Them" and "The Shadow Lands" in 2008.[4] "Angel" enjoyed moderate popularity in the media, but the album was not a commercial success and did not enter Polish weekly albums chart.
