Moore has a "Reason to Believe"

Tuesday, March 17, 2026 – Kip Moore will release his next album," Reason To Believe," on March 29 via Virgin Music Group.

This is Moore's second full-length in two years. The album's first song "Levee" is out now, an anthemic, guitar-slinging song co-produced by Moore alongside Andrew and featuring guest vocals by Hillary Lindsey, who also co-wrote another song on the new LP

Moore said of the album title, "I felt like I was describing more of who I am as a human. This album is my daily thoughts. In here," he said tapping his chest. "It's an 'in here' kind of thing."

While recording the album, Moore lost his mentor, champion, first producer and songwriter Brett James. He even named the album after a song James loved that Moore wrote years ago alongside longtime collaborator Dan Couch and Scott Stepakoff.

Moore co-produced with DeRoberts, marking the first time he worked with him..

Moore will take the album on the road this year on the Reason To Believe World Tour, where he'll headline stadiums and arenas across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the U.S, and the United Kingdom as well as a return to South Africa, where he has opened up the door to country music – playing for crowds of over 40,000 fans.

You may be confused by the opening title track of Kip Moore's fifth studio album. "Damn Love" is a soft techno ballad straight out of the Eighties from an artist that traditionally has gone for hard charging hits like "Beer Money" and "Somethin' Bout a Truck."

CD review - Wild World There are moments while listening to Kip Moore's album where the listener might feel like he/she is sampling new Kid Rock music - albeit, with plenty more heart and soul.
