See It First: Avehre Sends Message of Hope in ‘Believe Louder’ Video

Gladys Knight didn’t have to look far for her latest protégé, Avhere. He was singing background vocals for the soul legend. In December, the talented new artist released his debut holiday EP, Star Filled Sky, and is already in the works on his next set.

Yahoo Music is pleased to premiere the music video for the Chicago-bred artist’s song, “Believe Louder,” a collaboration with Amber Bullock, winner of season four of BET’s Sunday Best.

The rhythmic gospel song and video share a powerful message of hope. “The world around us is changing,” Avehre tells Heed.  "We’re hurting as a society. We’ve given up hope on our justice system. Our foundation is flawed but we are still here. And I believe that’s the key to creating change for the better.“
