Kripa’s “I Believe” offers a widescreen vision of pop’s emotional core

On “I Believe”, rising artist Kripa reaches for something bigger than just a chart-ready track. Backed by lush production and shaped by years of classical training and global influences, the single arrives as both a personal mantra and a pop power ballad — one that places faith at the centre of selfhood.

Co-produced with Bruce Lowe, a four-time Grammy winner known for his work with pop icons across decades, the track pulls no punches when it comes to scope. There are sweeping gospel harmonies, glittering piano arpeggios, and a string-laced arrangement that unfolds like a sunrise. Yet the star of the show is Kripa’s voice — rich, versatile, and brimming with conviction. She navigates from gentle intimacy to full-blown, choir-backed catharsis with ease, grounding each melodic ascent with emotional clarity.

There’s something deliberately nostalgic in the structure and delivery — “I Believe” wouldn’t feel out of place on a Beyoncé album circa Dangerously in Love, or in the closing scene of an early-2000s romantic drama. But that familiarity is part of its appeal. Kripa doesn’t reinvent the pop ballad; instead, she refines it, leaning into its emotional contours with sincerity and restraint.

Lyrically, the song explores belief not just as spiritual faith, but as a personal lifeline — the kind of steadying force that sees you through uncertainty. It’s hopeful, yes, but never naive. In a climate of irony and detachment, “I Believe” stands as a rare thing: a song that dares to be earnest.

With this offering, Kripa makes a quiet but confident claim for longevity — not just through vocal power, but through artistic vision. Her message is simple, her execution is thoughtful, and the result is deeply resonant pop that asks to be felt as much as heard.
