Data Insight

Kygo writes all of his own music and works with guest vocalists who co-write the lyrics for their parts. His posthumous collaboration with Whitney Houston on 'Higher Love' stands out as one of the most unusual credit arrangements in his catalog, Gaye and Townsend don't appear, but Houston's performance carries the legacy of an old soul deep cut.
