Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren 's sixth studio album Embrace was released in 2015. The album topped the Dutch charts and reached number 4 on the Billboard US Dance/ Electronica charts. " Heading Up High " was released as a single in February 2016. The song featured Dutch rock band Kensington . The band had formed in 2005 and had modest success in the Netherlands and Belgium.
