Broken & Beautiful is the debut album from Canadian pop rock artist Suzie McNeil, released on April 10, 2007, through Curve Music. It was preceded by the release of radio hit "Hung Up" and features the popular single "Believe", which served as an official anthem for the Canadian Olympic team in the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Critical reception
Matthew Chisling of AllMusic stated that the record was a strong effort where "...every single track individually is strong, and the best moments on the album are stronger than anything Kelly Clarkson ever recorded. With any luck, Broken and Beautiful will be a commercial success and McNeil will become the household name she deserves to be."
