The track was later included on an EP entitled The Daylight which was released in February 2012.[4]
On his second full-length album Black Bear, Belle wrote songs which are autobiographical with themes ranging from wrestling with God to restoring personal relationships.[5] The album consists of ambitious, ambient songs with influences from M83, Beach House, James Blake, and Washed Out. He said, "I began to feel limited by my original, predominately acoustic sound... and as my creative taste began to change, I decided to take things in a new direction; writing songs that made me excited about music again".[6]Black Bear came out in August 2013 and was produced in Norman, Oklahoma by Chad Copelin.[6] Belle told USA Today that he wrote the album's first single "Pieces" for his wife shortly after they married in 2012.[7]
In the fall of 2014, Belle released an EP entitled Black Bear (Hushed), featuring stripped down versions of five of the album's tracks.[8] It included a remix of the song "Black Bear" by artist and producer Shallou.
In August 2016, Belle released "Dive Deep" as the lead single from his upcoming third album of the same name.[9] A follow-up single, "You", was put out in October 2016[10] followed by 3 more singles, "Down", "Honey and Milk", and "When the End Comes". His third full-length album Dive Deep was released on August 25, 2017. Similar to Black Bear, it was recorded in Norman with Copelin producing and debuted on the BillboardHeatseekers Albums chart at position No. 8,[11] after which Belle embarked on a nearly sold out headline tour of the U.S.
In the fall of 2018, Belle released an EP entitled Dive Deep (Hushed), featuring stripped down versions of five of the album's tracks,[12] similar to the Black Bear (Hushed) EP released in 2014.
