The new single ‘I BELIEVE’ by the Australian independent artist Ziggy Alberts is a perfect musical pause from the stressful events ahead, whether it is the case of holiday preparations or tieing everything before the end of the year. In the midst of all new music releases, Alberts’ ‘I BELIEVE’ takes a step back from heartbreak-jammed ballads and Christmas music to remind you ‘it is going to be alright.’
‘I BELIEVE’ is one of the songs that put you in an instant self-meditated state. The track is green and yellow for all people with synaesthesia out there, sounding like trees moving along a slow breeze. Ziggy Alberts is known for producing music mimicking early Ben Howard or Jack Johnson. ‘I BELIEVE’ also hints at a hippier version of Ed Sheeran with Alberts’ warm, soothing vocals.
It acts as a follow-up to his ‘searching for freedom’ album, where Ziggy Alberts beautifully celebrates and documents some of humanity’s most heartfelt and complex emotions. ‘I BELIEVE’ continues this new chapter and offers a sense of calmness that comforts Alberts as much as it will everyone in the world trying to adapt back to normal life.
The sound of an acoustic guitar and lyrics like ‘when you fall down, get up’ does the trick. Ziggy Alberts shares his intention when writing ‘I BELIEVE’: “I wrote I BELIEVE as a mantra to remain strong through hard times. I deeply needed a song to sing that would keep my eyes out to the horizon beyond the storms we face. It’s a reminder to celebrate our differences and see that love really does bridge the gap between them”.
