Height is a new solo album by Erika Henningsen. The album title refers to her height as a singer/actor, as in super tall. Height is scheduled to be released in early 2021. Pre-order bonuses include a memorabilia CD that includes demos of Henningsen’s previous singles, and the album art. is Erika Henningsen’s third national record, following albums featuring singles such as Youth and Remember Me and the fantastic You’re Gone EP. If you have only heard the songs on those records you really need to hear what this singer has to offer. Her voice is truly remarkable, as it is on all of her songs. It’s a voice like no other. That’s why I think it’s likely she’ll soon find herself climbing that elusive ladder of stardom.
