Jari Salmikivi, a Swedish guitarist, songwriter, and producer, has a knack for creating music that resonates with the soul. His latest release, a remix of his single “Believe,” is no exception. Originally released on January 12, 2022, “Believe” was a Motown and gospel-inspired anthem brimming with uplifting energy and heartfelt affirmations. It was a song designed to remind listeners of their worth, beauty, and importance, delivering a much-needed dose of positivity in a world that can often feel overwhelming.
Now, the song has taken on a fresh life with a remix by renowned producer Austin Leeds. Known for his collaborations with icons like Avicii, and having his music championed by the likes of Tiësto, Eric Prydz, Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, and Avicii, Leeds brings his signature dance/pop style to the track. The remix infuses “Believe” with a modern, infectious rhythm that transforms the soulful original into a dynamic floor-filler, perfect for the dancefloor yet retaining its heartfelt message.
With its upbeat tempo and vibrant production, the remix amplifies the feel-good energy of the song, inviting listeners to move, smile, and embrace the affirming lyrics. The essence of “Believe” remains intact—it’s still about breaking through feelings of invisibility or inadequacy and finding joy in self-acceptance and empowerment. However, the new soundscape offers a refreshing twist, proving that positivity knows no bounds, whether it’s delivered through gospel harmonies or pulsating beats.
Jari’s collaboration with Austin Leeds showcases the versatility of “Believe” and his ability to bridge genres seamlessly, reaching new audiences while staying true to his musical vision. This remix is not just a reimagining of the track; it’s a celebration of the transformative power of music and its ability to uplift, inspire, and unite. “Believe” (Remix) is more than a song—it’s an anthem of hope and happiness, wrapped in the vibrant energy of modern dance/pop.
