Search - Sara Barielles :: Little Voice (2 CD Set)

Great CD and the deluxe extras are worth it!

"The extra live performances (audio + video) are high quality and worth the extra cost over the non-deluxe CD. My only complaint is the video aren't higher resolution. There is also an interview video included."

One of the Best Albums of 2008

"I had already decided to adopt Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" as the best album for the year of 2008, but then I got introduced to a song called "Gravity."



I couldn't rest until I got my hands on this album, and from start to finish Bareilles is simply superb. Every arrangement is touching, and her soulful, melodic voice gives me chills. I've been carrying it around in my mp3 player, and for the exception of one song, I've rated the entire album with four, five stars all throughout.



Sara's writing skills are simply one of the best out there. She infuses her melodies with heart. This is not music just for the sake of success. It is true art, and I am now a huge fan."

Superb Young Songwriter Whose Superb Songwriting Ranges Far

"With its incessant piano hook and heart-felt lyrics, "Love Song" caught my attention immediately as one of the most impressive debut singles I've heard on pop radio. So is it true with the rest of "Little Voice" which demonstrates that Sara Bareilles has an incredibly bright future ahead as a compelling chanteuse of original piano-based pop rock music (I'd like to think of her as someone with the melodic richness of a Sarah McLaughlin coupled with the sarcastic, hip lyrics and excellent musical chord writing of a Randy Newman.). Her stylistic influences range all over the map, from the fusion jazz of "Vegas" to the soft rock pop of "Love Song". Lyrically and musically, her most impressive songs include the short, but quite delightful, "Fairytale" and the memorable ballad "Gravity". This special edition of "Little Voice" includes stripped-down acoustic versions of virtually all of the songs on a separate disk, along with an interview about the writing of "Love Song". "Little Voice" is a marvelous demonstration of "big talent" from a compelling young singer-songwriter from whom we will hear much of in the years ahead."
