2013 marks the year that ANDALÉ will step out from behind the shadows and become firmly planted into the consciousness of the music industry at large. With a new passion, a new sound, and new management, ANDALÉ is poised to take his message and his ministry to a new level. The appropriately titled “Higher” is the first single from his highly anticipated, game-changing project SMOKE & MIRRORS slated for a fall 2013 release. “Higher” is a universal call to all people that it is time to reach beyond mediocrity, beyond superficiality, beyond mistakes of the past, and move to a higher level of holiness, strength, and success through the power of God. “Higher” will be available on iTunes July 23.
