Believe in Me (Regina Belle album)

Believe in Me is the fifth studio album by American singer Regina Belle. It was released by MCA Records on June 9, 1998, in the United States. Belle's first and only release with MCA, she worked with producer and songwriter Erik "E-Smooth" Hicks on the majority of the album. Believe in Me received generally positive reviews but became her lowest-charting album yet, peaking at number 42 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. It earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Album in 1999, and produced the singles, "I've Had Enough" and "Don't Let Go."

Critical reception
Allmusic editor John Jones called Believe in Me Belle's "strongest release" yet. He found that "Belle manages to utilize slick, hip production and update her sound without forgetting the most important element: strong hooks and well-written tunes. Eric "E-Smooth" Hicks provides the production backdrop for eight of the album's tracks, giving Belle the strongest rhythmic push her music has ever had [...] Even a couple of less interesting pop tunes aren't enough to weigh this project down. Filled with memorable hooks and irresistible grooves, Believe in Me finds Regina Belle at the top of her game."
