Press Release:
André d’Almeida is proud to announce the release of single “Believer”. This song is a self portrait of his life in particular, a creative crisis and rebirth with the aid of a friend. This song is an inspiration to anyone who listens to it. It breathes confidence, being proud, living in the now and most of all self-recognition. It is upbeat with very catchy verses with vocals that are powerful, yet tender at the same time. "This is a song that I would like to listen to every morning while I have my coffee. His music brings you to a good place, filled with positive energy and that’s what I need with my ‘cup o jo’."
