Belle is the fourth studio album by New Zealand singer-song writer Bic Runga.
The album was released in New Zealand on 14 November 2011, while in Ireland the album was released earlier on 11 November 2011 under Sony Music Ireland.
It is her first studio album in six years and the first to feature a producer, Kody Nielson and material co-written with other songwriters. The album's title is derived from the theme song of the French television series Belle et Sébastien which Runga also covers on the album.
The first single from the album is "Hello Hello". The track debuted on New Zealand radio stations in September 2011. On 8 September 2011 for a limited time only Bandit.fm allowed fans the chance to download the song for free. On 12 September 2011, "Hello Hello" was made available to purchase from digital music stores in New Zealand. "Tiny Little Piece of My Heart" and "If You Really Do" were released as follow-up singles in 2012.
