"So High" is the debut single from British R&B singer Jamelia. It was her first single for Parlophone in 1999.[1][2] The single did not chart in the UK and is rare due to the fact it did not feature on her debut album, Drama. It also omitted from her greatest hits compilation, along with Drama singles "I Do" and "Boy Next Door".

Critical reception

Yahoo's Dotmusic gave "So High" a mixed review. They stated, "New kid on the block Jamelia swings into town with this slice of R&B which never manages to rise above the mediocre. She can sing, the beats roll, the bass tones swing, the chords funk – hey, you might even find your head nodding Flat Eric style! It's just we've heard this a 1000 times before and when the chorus slips into "So high, So high...You're making me..." things take a nosedive. It's a shame as Jamelia's got a great voice and with the right production could lift a tune.[3]
