London singer-songwriter Alex Hepburn delivers heartfelt, soul-drenched vocals in new single "I Believe", over a sample taken from Aretha Franklin's "People Get Ready" who, she says, is "one of the most beautiful and strong female inspirations—I feel so blessed to have her vocal running through my track." The video—which is premiering exclusively today on Complex, features black-and-white shots to emphasise Hepburn's vocals through the variety of stories told. Serving as Hepburn's first full release in the UK, she is no stranger to success internationally, having toured with the likes of Bruno Mars and Lianne La Havas, and going platinum in France and gold in Switzerland with her debut album, Together Alone. You can expect her sophomore LP later this year.
