Alexa Kriss romps through Omaha in “I Believe In Love” video
Midwest singer/songwriter Alexa Kriss came to Nebraska over the summer to film a night on the town for her new video “I Believe In Love.” Made with director Darcy J. L. Bahensky and videographer Brent Scott Maze, it charts a romp through Omaha with a wedding party and a night on stage at Lincoln’s Zoo Bar.
Kriss debuted “I Believe In Love” at The Bay Friday night during a joint show with Lincoln singer/songwriter Alli And I, who appears multiple times throughout the video. The song itself blends classic and modern, with a mid-70’s piano pop start and a sweeping finish, all following the lead of Kriss’ buttery smooth voice.
Watch “I Believe In Love” below:
