If you’ve been riding the modern reggae wave, chances are HIRIE’s name is already on your radar—and if it’s not, it’s time to catch up.
The Phillipines -born, Hawai’i-based songstress has been carving her own lane in the reggae scene for years, blending roots rhythms with pop sensibilities, soulful vocals, and an unmistakable aura of empowerment. Known for her high-energy performances and heartfelt songwriting, HIRIE has built a loyal fanbase by staying true to her message of love, growth, and inner strength.
Now, she’s back with “Elevation,” the first single off her upcoming full-length album—and it’s a statement. This track isn’t just a vibe, it’s a vision. Wrapped in silky production and a steady groove, “Elevation” feels like a deep inhale for the soul. It’s a celestial journey of self-empowerment and artistic liberation, with HIRIE’s voice gliding effortlessly across themes of spiritual alignment, feminine power, and creative release.
The instrumentation strikes a perfect balance between grounded and expansive—pulsing basslines and steady percussion lay the foundation, while shimmering guitar riffs, airy synths, and lush vocal harmonies elevate the mood to a more ethereal space. It’s a rich soundscape that invites you to float freely and feel deeply.
The track was crafted in collaboration with longtime creative partners Chris Del Camino and Danny Kalb, who handled production duties, with Kalb also taking on mixing and mastering. Co-written by HIRIE and Yasmyn Andrade, “Elevation” is a polished, purposeful piece that reflects the kind of synergy that happens when vision meets experience in the studio.
There’s a clarity here—a sense that HIRIE is tapping into something bigger than just a beat. She’s calling listeners to rise above the noise, embrace authenticity, and meet her on a higher plane, where music becomes medicine and freedom is the rhythm.
With “Elevation,” HIRIE is not just releasing a single—she’s opening a portal to the next era of her sound. And if this is the energy she’s leading with, that upcoming album is about to be something special.
