Degreed, a Swedish rock band, unveiled the new single and official video for 'Believe' on March 5, 2026. The track is featured on their upcoming studio album 'Curtain Calls', scheduled for release on April 10, 2026, through Frontiers Music Srl.
Vocalist Robin Eriksson commented on 'Believe', stating: “a straightforward rock song with some synth wave and pop influences. Big chorus! And yes, a love song.” Regarding the album, Eriksson added: “This is truly one of the best albums we’ve ever made. Yes, it’s a cliche. Yes, a lot of bands say that about every new record they make. But I truly believe this is one of our best, if not THE best. I’ve never been as focused while making an album as I’ve been on this one.”
Produced by Mats Eriksson, 'Curtain Calls' is described as one of the band's strongest and most focused efforts. It maintains their established sound of classic melodic hard rock blended with contemporary influences, refined through powerful production, technically solid performances, and a strong sense of melody and accessibility. The album balances technical craftsmanship with immediate appeal, featuring energetic and polished songs that are approachable and showcase confident songwriting.
