Kip Moore Gets Introspective On Latest LP ‘Reason To Believe,’ Due In May

/by

Kip Moore will drop his new album Reason To Believe on May 29 via Virgin Music Group.

On his second full-length project in two years, Moore sings about grief, faith and the weight of time – documenting someone standing still long enough to hear himself think. While recording the album, Moore lost his mentor, champion and first producer, songwriter Brett James. He even named the album after a song James loved that Moore wrote years ago alongside longtime collaborator Dan Couch and Scott Stepakoff.

Moore produced the album with Andrew DeRoberts, marking the first time he worked with the producer. DeRoberts brought a philosophy Moore hadn’t explored as deeply before: space over volume, and the result is an album that feels career-spanning with upbeat rockers meant for the crowd, vulnerable meditations on hardship meant for quiet, and other songs meant to be lifelines to offer the listener a sense of comfort.

“I felt like I was describing more of who I am as a human. This album is my daily thoughts. In here,” says Moore, tapping his chest. “It’s an ‘in here’ kind of thing.”

The first song from the new collection, “Levee” is out now.
