Actress-singer Belle Mariano makes a comeback as a recording artist with her brand new extended play (EP) “BELIEVE,” a collection of inspiring tracks about accepting one’s fate, overcoming pain, and making big dreams and an exciting prelude to her sold-out concert that happened last July 13 at The Theatre at Solaire.

The mini-album has five songs including the boppy carrier single “Biglaan,”, a boppy foray into old school pop R&B feels, “Pakisagot,” “Little World Changer,” “I, Save, Me,” and “Apelyido,” all produced by certified hitmaker Roque “Rox” Santos.

Belle performed these tracks in BELIEVE: The Belle Mariano Birthday Concert July 13 at The Theatre at Solaire produced by ABS-CBN Events and StarPop.

Joining Belle as her special guests were Donny Pangilinan, Moira dela Torre, Denise Julia, and Martin Nievera.

The Kapamilya star couldn’t contain her amazement at having a concert as big as this at this time in her life.  “Hindi ko siya na-visualize. It was too grand for me,” Belle said in disbelief.

“I used to sing in the videoke with my lolo and it feels like I’m not just fulfilling my dream, I’m also fulfilling his,” she added.

Her own preparations for the musical event, however, has made her have more trust and faith in her capabilities as a performer. She said, “The process of the concert made me believe in myself. This marks a growth of who I am in the industry.”

She is also introducing a more mature sound and storytelling in her latest music offering.

The aforementioned “Biglaan,” which speaks of destiny finding its way to bring something far more than what is expected, serves as the BELIEVE EP’s lead single. Another empowering track, “Little World Changer,” is a dreamy ode to a young person’s big aspirations. The latter is co-written by Moira Dela Torre.

“Pakisagot” is about a girl weeping in prayer and demanding answers on why terrible things happen to good people, “I, Save, Me” is abouit processing heartache and false hope, and “Apelyido” is about that special moment when one finally finds the right person.



As a recording artist, Belle opened up about how she wants to be remembered whenever music listeners hear her songs.

“I want to make the listeners, the audience, believe in themselves,” she said.

BELIEVE EP follows the New Gen Phenomenal Actress’ previously-released albums Daylight and Somber and Solemn, which solidified Belle‘s status as a recording artist beyond her artista pedigree. Among her hit songs are her breakthrough hit “Sigurado,” (written by Trisha Denise, who also wrote “Biglaan”),  “Kahit Na, Kahit Pa,” “Tanging Dahilan,” and “Bugambilya.”


This year, she received the Listener’s Choice Award in Billboard Philippines’ Women in Music and was named Spotify’s Lullaby Artist Awardee.
