In winter the same year, he directly supported Mat Kearney on his Crazytalk U.S tour alongside Austrian artist and producer Filous.

In August 2016, Belle released "Dive Deep" as the lead single from his upcoming third album of the same name. A follow-up single, "You", was put out in October 2016. These were followed by 3 more singles – "Down", "Honey and Milk", and "When the End Comes" – before his third full-length album Dive Deep was ultimately released on August 25, 2017. Similarly to Black Bear, it was recorded in Norman, OK with producer Chad Copelin and debuted on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart at position No. 8, after which Belle embarked on a nearly completely sold out headline tour of the U.S supporting his latest work.

In the fall of 2014, Belle released an EP entitled Black Bear (Hushed), featuring stripped down versions of five of the album's tracks. It also included a remix of the song "Black Bear" by artist and producer Shallou.

It was during this time that Belle began touring nationally as a member of the Nashville based singer-songwriter collective Ten Out of Tenn – alongside his peers Joy Williams, Mikky Ekko, Ashley Monroe, Trent Dabbs, Katie Herzig, Erin McCarley, K.S. Rhoads, Madi Diaz, Matthew Perryman Jones, Butterfly Boucher, Gabe Dixon, Tyler James, Sarah Siskind, and Griffin House.

On his second full-length album Black Bear, Belle wrote songs that were autobiographical, with themes ranging from wrestling with God to restoring personal relationships. The album consists of ambitious, ambient songs with influences from M83, Beach House, James Blake, and Washed Out. On the process of creating the record, 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". Black Bear was released in August 2013 and was produced in Norman, OK by Chad Copelin. Belle stated in an interview with USA Today that he wrote the album's first single "Pieces" for his wife shortly after they were married in 2012.

Shortly after this initial success, his song "Sky's Still Blue" was featured in a Microsoft commercial promoting the Windows Phone 7. It was made available as a free download from Microsoft. The track was later included on an EP entitled The Daylight which was released in February 2012.

In May 2010, released a b-side single from The Ladder recording sessions entitled "In My Veins (feat. Erin McCarley)" that was played during an iconic scene of the Grey's Anatomy season six finale; generating more than 75 million streams and downloads of the "In My Veins" single worldwide. This song was also used in the culminating scene of the Season four finale of Castle in 2012 and in one of the ending scenes of the show Cold Case.
