Inversions (album)

Inversions is an album, released on 28 June 2019, by British singer-songwriter and pianist Belinda O'Hooley. Jude Rogers in The Guardian called it "a set of beautiful piano and spoken-word pieces". Mike Ainscoe, for Louder Than War, described it "a series of touching and heartfelt outpourings...Revealing and yes, in a way, cathartic, Inversions captures Belinda O'Hooley at her most insightful".

In a four-starred review for the Morning Star, Steve Johnson said: "This mainly instrumental solo album showcases O'Hooley's talents as a pianist and composer, inspired by her family musical heritage following the passing of her father in 2017. The Swallows Tail and The Bonny Boy come from her father's musical background in the rural Irish west, while Cadair Idris and Aran Fawddwy are inspired by the mountains and valleys of Snowdonia where the album was recorded...as an instrumental album this is an enjoyable and relaxing experience from an artist at the height of her powers."
