John Foster’s cover of “Believe” is a shining example of how timeless songs find new life through new voices. Tackling Brooks & Dunn’s emotional masterpiece is no small task, but John steps into it with a rare combination of respect, vulnerability, and his own unmistakable artistry.
From the first few lines, it’s clear that John isn’t just covering the song — he’s inhabiting it. His delivery is tender but confident, capturing the bittersweet story of faith, loss, and redemption with a sincerity that pulls you right into the heart of the lyrics. It’s remarkable how he manages to hold the weight of the song while still bringing a fresh, youthful perspective that feels authentic rather than rehearsed.
What makes John’s version even more special is the subtle touches he adds — slight shifts in phrasing, emotional cracks in his voice at just the right moments — that personalize the performance without ever taking away from the song’s original spirit. He honors the past while also showing who he is right now as an artist.
Critics, fans, and even casual listeners seem to agree: John Foster isn’t just “good for his age” — he’s simply good, period. And performances like this prove he’s only just getting started.
