2012 studio album by Susan McKeown
Belong is a the twentieth studio album by Irish singer-songwriter Susan McKeown, released through Hibernian Records on November 13, 2012.[5] Produced by McKeown, Belong features guest appearances from Declan O’Rourke and James Maddock.[4] The album received critical acclaim upon it’s release, with The Irish Times noting
“McKeown’s voice, widely admired for its clarity and richness of tone, is getting better and better with age. Ever more open, more welcoming, it’s as if she is coming closer to home and to herself, with each of her recent album releases. It’s apt then, that this latest collection is titled Belong. Filled to bursting with songs that resemble diverse members of a single household, each one asserting its identity in suitably idiosyncratic fashion… Thought-provoking and joint-swivelling in equal measure: Belong is quite an achievement.”[1]
Belong peaked at #11 on the Billboard Folk Albums chart, while “Everything We Had Was Good” reached #1 on the Folk Singles chart.[6]
