Believe
Morgan Page
Morgan Page is a withholder. Over the last eight years he’s built an immense fan base for his particular brand of foggy, moody progressive House by applying it to a zillion remixes for disparate artists like Jason Mraz, Madonna, Alanis Morissette, Jeffree Star, Jody Watley, Yoko Ono, Nelly Furtado and Stevie Nicks. To name a few. But with all that demand, his own artist work gets perpetually pushed to the side and we’re left panting at the mere mention of something native with his name on it. Believe began with the tease of the initial singles “Fight for You” and “Strange Condition” (awesome cover of Pete Yorn), and fulfilled its promise with the album’s full release in all its murky glory, and does not disappoint. Now staple vocalist Elisabeth Morris or “Lissie” appears on several of the album’s vocal tracks, but she’s also joined by a group of impressive guests, including Télépopmusik’s Angela McCluskey, deep House darling Samantha James, trip-hop crooner Natalie Walker, and the dynamic Matt Alber. Standout tracks include “Believe,” “Back to Life,” “Only Human,” and “Tell Me Why.”
