Believe is the second studio album by American music producer, DJ, remixer, and songwriter, Morgan Page, released on February 23, 2010.[1]

The first single from Believe was "Fight for You", featuring guest vocals from Elisabeth Maurus (a.k.a. Lissie).[2] "Fight for You" has been featured in live sets by artists such as Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Dave Dresden, and Hernan Cattaneo. The single was #6 on AOL's Top 10 Dance Songs of 2009,[3] and was also featured as a free track on the iPod Touch/iPhone app Tap Tap Revenge 2.

Page's second single, a cover of Pete Yorn's "Strange Condition", also features vocals from Elisabeth Maurus.[4]

Critical reception

Believe received generally positive reviews. David Jeffries from Allmusic gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing: "While the melancholic mood throughout the record might wear on some, Believe is a well-crafted mood piece for the prog house faithful, featuring all the murky atmosphere the producer’s underserved fans crave."

About.com writer Scott Nelson gave the album 5 out of 5 stars, saying Morgan had "really figured out his place in dance music as the arrangement and production are pretty much perfect". Nelson singled out Maurus' voice as a better compliment for Page's music than the other singers featured on the album.[4]

Sarah Benzuly of Mix wrote that "Believe is infused with melodic grooves, syncopated rhythms and textures that ebb and flow from one track to the next."[5]
