Becky Hill unveils her eagerly anticipated second album Believe Me Now? via Astralwerks. 

Believe Me Now? has delivered Becky’s latest UK Top 10 smash “Disconnect” (with Chase & Status) as well as US Dance Radio #1 hits “Side Effects” and “Never Be Alone” (with Sonny Fodera), which was also her 22nd UK Top 40 track to date (as artist and writer). The two-time BRIT Award and Radio 1 Dance Award winner launches the album alongside new single “Multiply.”

Believe Me Now? is the embodiment of Becky as a person: an authentic record rich with candid emotions and stories born from personal - and often immensely challenging - experiences. It’s an album that fully reflects her key musical influences as well as her lifelong dedication to dance music culture, but one that also maintains the instant appeal that has generated six UK Top 10 hits and seven US Dance Radio #1 smashes. Covering moments spanning love to loneliness and life-affirming bonds to betrayal, it’s an authentic collection of songs in which Becky places her own life at its forefront with its ambitious sound being bolstered by an array of top tier collaborators.

The album opens with “True Colours” (featuring Self Esteem), a first-hand reflection on sexual assault that aims to empower other people to speak out about their own experiences. As well as her recent singles, completed by “Outside of Love” and “Right Here”, the album introduces a wealth of essential new material. Highlights includes the future house banger and imminent summer dancefloor-filler “Multiply”, the punchy-synths and rave-centric energy of the MNEK co-write “Darkest Hour”; and the throwback mid-’00s vibes-meets-piano-house infectiousness of “Keep Holding On”, assisted by Toddla T.

Becky says, “When I thought about what had come before now, I realised I was missing a couple of things: specifically, the element of euphoria but also, I wanted to create a much more mature, sophisticated level of dance music in this album. It was an incredibly direct and quick album to write because for the first time I knew exactly what I wanted to say. I’m really proud of this album and of what it says and what it stands for.”
