<\/div>\n

Whitney Houston<\/a> and Kygo<\/a>\u2019s collaboration \u201cHigher Love\u201d<\/a> has received an appropriately Eighties-inspired, dance-heavy video.<\/p>\n

Hannah Lux Davis (Ariana Grande, Halsey) directed the colorful, nostalgic visual, which opens with a group of men walking down a dusty street when one of them veers off towards a warehouse as the opening chords of \u201cHigher Love\u201d ring out in the distance. The man then looks through a window to see a group of women in Eighties jazzercise gear \u2014 high-cut bodysuits, bright leggings, sweatbands \u2014 rehearsing a dance routine. His friends join, mesmerized, before the women notice the voyeurs. The lead dancer, played by Riverdale<\/em>\u2018s Vanessa Morgan, shoos them away before the guy who found the women enters the room.<\/p>\n

When he opens the door, his clothes transform into similar dance gear and he immediately begins dancing with the women while Houston\u2019s \u201cI Wanna Dance With Somebody\u201d video plays on a small TV in the background. After the rest of the guys join in, Morgan is accidentally kicked in the head, prompting her to awaken from a dream and realize the male dancer in her fantasy is just the waiter at the restaurant where she\u2019d fallen asleep.<\/p>\n

Originally released by Steve Winwood in 1986, Houston recorded a cover of \u201cHigher Love\u201d for her 1990 album I\u2019m Your Baby Tonight,<\/em> but the track was ultimately left off as she pivoted to a more R&B sound. Her estate decided to revive the cover with Kygo this year as the first of many releases celebrating her musical legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current cultural environment has been thirsty for something uplifting and inspiring,\u201d her sister-in-law and estate manager Pat Houston told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWho better to inspire than Whitney, the most exhilarating vocalist of all time?\u201d<\/p>\n
