Scott Stapp’s year has been a journey of transformation. You can watch the difference in the video for “Black Butterfly” here.
The single has reached #19 so far on charts. It is the number two single to be released from his album ‘Higher Power” (Napalm Records) and is available to order here.
As Stapp states:
“Growth is challenging, change can be uncomfortable, and personal loss can be crushing. We’ve all been there. Push through. I’ve learned that the ‘next level’ of self-awareness is knowing what you’re capable of and that you’re not defined by your worst experiences.”
“When ‘Black Butterfly’ hit radio, I wanted to share a new visual. Scott (Kennedy) didn’t sacrifice artistry for speed. By the final edit, it felt like the prelude to a whole new chapter.”
Higher Power track listing:
1. Higher Power
2. Deadman’s Trigger
3. When Love Is Not Enough
4. What I Deserve (feat. Yiannis Papadopoulos)
5. If These Walls Could Talk (feat. Dorothy)
6. Black Butterfly
7. Quicksand (feat. Yiannis Papadopoulos)
8. You’re Not Alone
9. Dancing in the Rain (feat. Yiannis Papadopoulos)
