Sara Bareilles

i bought the album and it was a mistake! I must not have read the LP part of the description. However, it said that a free download was available. After reading everything on the album, there is NO FREE download. It said you needed a code (possibly the small hard to read number under the sticker. It was a big disappointment. After hooking up the old LP, I was not in the MOOD anymore. Sorry.

The Sara Bareilles cd, Little Voice is a very emotional cd. I love her voice and all the emotions that her songs bring to me. It is not the cd to listen to when you have recently gone through a break up or a loss of a loved one, because the emotions that she put out there are so strong, you'll find yourself in tears. I am so glad that I purchased this cd and would highly recommend it to everyone. Definately a 5 star!

I cannot believe how over rated this album is. It opens with fresh spring weather ("Love Song"), then goes into some stupid song about 'Vegas. "Bottle It Up" is the next good song, track #3 or 4 (haven't listened to it in about a week, not sure...), then there's a bunch of songs that sound like some bouncing, jiggly, undefined substance. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, comes a deep, dark ping of piano (trak #8 or 9, again, not sure...), then the song loses its sparkle before its even halfway through. The closing track does nothing special either, unless you're addicted to piano-pop and don't want to bother boycotting mediocre stuff like this, which only encourages the music industry and its artists to keep being lazy and churning out half baked CDs. If that's the case, then blow $10 on this. The whole CD has piano in it, so that should make some people happy.

There isn't alot of real "artists" coming up in the American music scene these days, but somehow one beat the odds. She actually is making it because of real talent & not the shallow pop fluff that seem to be pushed by the U.S. record industry. The album title is quite contrary to what is actually here. Sara Bareilles has one BIG VOICE !!!! She has very smooth jazz flavorings, she can make a quiet ballad very dynamic & she can belt it out when she has to, but most important, she kicks a-- on piano. The big hit was "love song" but the real masterpiece on the CD is the hauntingly beautiful "City". I bought the album because of "Love song", but the rest has mostly a nice jazz feel to it. The majority of the songs may be a bit "girly", but still very well written & performed. I'm 50 years old & although I try to keep up with new music, its been hard to find alot of things I really like but this is one. I think Sara B. is a piano counterpart to the guitar playing KT Tunstall, another of the rare breed of "artists" today.

Another plinker-plunker songstress in the AC vein that threatens to fall headlong into MOR territory, especially with her 'Love Song' played to ad nauseum on the airwaves...

Ironically, there's a good chance she may have that hit single working against her eventually, and that she won't be remembered for any of the other great tunes in this album... Now that would be a real pity because her talent is unmistakeable...

This album surprised me beyond words. I thought it was going to get a poppy album without much depth. I wasn't sure if she had won American idol or what. (I don't watch that show.GASP!!)
Her voice and lyrics are exceptional.Her range is fantastic.I think it is a compliment to say she has some Fiona some Christine Aguillara, some Norah Joneds, Tori Amos, so much of a montage of beautiful styles.
This is an extremely talented young lady and I hope she continues to write her own music, following her soul and not get sucked into the music business politics. I love her.The entire album is great.

Discovered her listening to Pandora.
Great songs and voice.
Why can't I buy her music anywhere??
iTunes doesn't have it, Amazon is out.
Get some discs out for your fans!

I first heard "Gravity" while watching "Loving Anabelle". Intrigued by her piercing lyrcis and undeniable sound, I immediately started my internet search for this Sara Bareilles. I was a bit skeptical, thinking "Gravity" would be my one track wonder. WRONG ANSWER! It has been quite some time since I heard a CD that moves me in this way. She takes me on a genre-coster ride, and it feels so good! I can't get enough! Needless to say, I bought it! Surely, I will need a fix while I drive. The good news is, you can get some of what I got. The same hit. The same high! Get it! You won't regret it!

I first heard Sara B in the opening credits of Girl Play, her song "Fairytale". At the time, I wasn't aware that she was also responsible for the song at the end credits, "Gravity", and the song that played during the girls club scene, "Undertow". I just knew I had to find that soundtrack. Lucky for me, all the songs I wanted to play over and over in my car were all on the same CD, Careful Confessions, which I found on Amazon after a couple of hours of web-hunting. Unluckily, Amazon did not have any available, but a couple more hours of web searching, and soon there I was, at sarabmusic.com, adding Careful Confessions to my album collection. And worth every penny, and then some, of hte $10 bucks it cost me. The three previously named tracks are a few of my faves off the CD, but it was "One Sweet Love", "City", and "My Love" that really played on my heartstrings. Her soulful sound puts her in league with Joss Stone and Norah Jones, and her reflective lyrics show off her profound uniqueness not unlike the very distictive Sarah McLachlan. Needless to say, I love this album. Fans of Norah, Sarah, Joss, Alana Davis, Fiona Apple, and the like are sure to love this album just as much as I do. And please, Sara B, if you ever read this, please...BRING ON THE NEXT ALBUM!!!

I recently found this artist after watching the movie Girl Play. I am sorry it took so long for me to hear her sing but boy am I glad that I found her. You can order her CD directly from her own site at sarabmusic.com. She has signed with a record company and will be releasing a new album soon. Can't wait.
