Longitude 2024 headliner Becky Hill has dropped her sophomore album Believe Me Now?
Two two-time Brit Award winner’s latest LP features the UK Top 10 single ‘Disconnect’, as well as the US Dance Radio hits ‘Side Effects’ and ‘Never Be Alone’.
“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,” the singer said.
“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.”

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.
Believe Me Now? also sees Hill dive deeper into underground dance music and club culture, drawing influences from the realms of DnB, anthemic house, techno and atmospheric trance.
Demand for Becky Hill’s autumn UK and Ireland arena tour saw 60% of tickets sell out in three days, leading to the addition of a summer outdoor concert series alongside festival dates . Hill will perform Cork’s Musgrave Park on 14 June, as well as Longitude 2024 at Marlay Park.
