The Higher Desires’ “I Know Right” Named Top 10 Track of 2025 by Honk Magazine

Seattle, Washington — Big news from Def Garage Records: The Higher Desires’ latest single, I Know Right, has just been featured in Honk Magazine’s “Top 10 Tracks in 2025 You Need to Hear Right Now.”

Honk Magazine praised the track’s fearless mix of rock grit and hip-hop cadence, calling it:

“The Higher Desires transform a throwaway phrase into a powerhouse anthem… fresh and bold. Alt-hip-hop at its most dynamic.”

For a one-man DIY production that fuses jagged guitar riffs, pulsing bass, and raw energy, the recognition is a huge milestone and a nod to the project’s growing reach.

“I Know Right flips a phrase we all say every day into a full-blown anthem,” says songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist William Walbaum. “It’s about those moments that hit you hard — from the rush of sliding home and feeling like you’ve won, to the tough days where you just keep your head up and push through.”
