Reason To Believe
Kip Moore
Reason To Believe is the seventh studio album from Georgia-born singer-songwriter Kip Moore, released May 29, 2026 via Virgin Music Group. It arrives roughly fifteen months after his previous record, Solitary Tracks, fulfilling a promise Moore made upon signing a new global deal to release music more frequently than ever before. Co-produced with Andrew DeRoberts — whose credits include Zac Brown Band and Stephen Wilson Jr. — the album marks the first time Moore has worked with an outside production collaborator in some time, and the pairing proved transformative: DeRoberts pushed Moore toward a philosophy of space over volume, crafting a sonic landscape built on restraint and emotional texture rather than maximalism. The 13-track collection spans anthemic southern rock bangers to achingly vulnerable ballads, blurring the lines between country, Americana, and arena rock in the way Moore has long made his signature.
The album carries a weight of personal grief at its center. During recording, Moore lost Brett James — his mentor, first champion, and the producer behind early hits like "Hey Pretty Girl" and "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck" — and the loss shaped the record's emotional core profoundly. Moore named the album after a song he had written years earlier with Dan Couch and Scott Stepakoff, one that James had long expressed as a personal favorite. The lead single "Levee" opens the record with a raucous, pent-up energy that Moore described as an expression of frustration with the self-righteousness and noise of the modern world, while deeper cuts like "The Darkness," "Faith in the Wind," and the title track navigate grief, faith, and the search for light with an unflinching directness. As Moore has put it: "My belief in my faith is at my core. Even when the dark is there and it's winning, I know it won't ultimately win."
