Believe

Believe is a European digital music distributor based in Paris, France. It was founded in December 2004 by Denis Ladegaillerie and has since become the French counterpart of Believe Digital in the UK. With a strong presence in the digital music industry, Believe has established itself as an authoritative label, offering a wide range of music from various genres.

In its journey to success, Believe acquired mTunes, its German competitor, in October 2008. This strategic move allowed Believe to expand its reach and strengthen its position within the industry. Additionally, in August 2016, Believe acquired Naïve, another prominent label known for representing talented artists across different musical styles.

With these acquisitions and partnerships, *Believe* has further solidified its reputation as a leading player in the music distribution scene. The label continues to support and promote both emerging and established artists alike while providing fans with access to their favorite music through their e-commerce website.

Covers of the Beatles, Radiohead, The Police, Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello, David Bowie etc. 

“Brexit Music’ is not a political album. But it holds in its title— which came to me long after the idea of the repertoire, an ultimately quite British taste for derision: in the end, art shall survive all social fads. 

I wanted a fresh, playful sound, groove, and a bit of humor. Both playful and well executed. The intense presence of Matt and Greg is a big part of it. 

Covering a popular song is common practice for jazz musicians, and like many others before me, I have often done it. Still, the idea of an entire al-bum revolving exclusively around British pop music was not self-evident: it was a challenge to remain lively and "fun" without the lyrics. So I was left with the often simplistic material of these songs, even if most of them have been an excit-ing and joyful part of my teenage years. 

And then, little by little, by digging mainly into the incredibly creative era of the 70s, I started to have fun, sometimes arranging the melodies with the language I am most familiar with and sometimes playing them as they are. The simple sound of the piano/double bass/drums acoustic jazz trio created the surprise. 

&nbsp;Jazz and pop musicians are often considered rivals. And yet, in both worlds, you can hear the same sublime violence and thirst for freedom. 

Jazz was a popular and revolutionary music long before the arrival of rock's exuberance. Its animality (which I love!) contrasted with jazz and its complex harmonies and rhythms. 

Why not try to combine the two? While keeping in mind that this form of loving and poetic re-sistance is common to ALL genres” - Baptiste Trotignon, May 2023
