Sarah wrote ‘Quarter-Life Crisis’ after moving from a small town in Virginia to the big city of Miami to attend college and pursue her music career. “I wrote this song feeling incredibly lost, confused, and struggling to find my identity in a big city.

Sarah Belle is an artist with so much to say. Love, loss, pain and other emotional struggles are by no means new songwriting subjects, but the unwavering candor with which she discusses them in her songs, makes it difficult to turn away.
