In July of 2007, a Little Voice humming a Love Song was tuned to create a musical fusion.
It takes melody—whether slow or upbeat, genre—whether pop or rock, and especially lyrics—whether mushy or bitter, to make a song “Last Song Syndromic”. But in this age of music, that humming little voice is started to be heard.
Multi-talented singer-songwriter-pianist Sara Bareilles, offers a new and phenomenal sound that will surely answer this generation’s hearing pleasure with a string of beats and harmony and melody and power of her own musical spirit.
Shared the same phase of musicality and sounded pretty much according to her musical influences like Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Fiona Apple, and Alicia Keys, this 29-year old UCLA Communications graduate creates a sonic mix of songs in her debut album entitled “Little Voice” with 12 jam-pack songs under Epic Records.
Possesses a unique style with genre-less songs but basically has a pop-jazz-soul kind of music, Bareilles writes her lyrics which dancing around the theme of love. The switch of emotions and conviction in her lyrics has depth that involves her personal relationships, and has soul-searching or looking for an identity from her own insecurities. She wants to believe that trusting her instincts will out breeze these inner battle.
Trying to feel the reality of being a musician, Bareilles, who started as a front act for several performers like Maroon 5 and James Blunt, co-produced her first album (a compilation of her demo) entitled “Careful Confessions” in 2004 which has also been re-released this year. Careful Confessions, includes six songs with mostly live tracks, unveils the inner she that explains the history of her musical career along with the significant chapters in her personal life.
Some songs from Careful Confessions were re-arranged and re-packed for the Little Voice album. Some of these are “City”, “Vegas” and “Gravity”.
After the successful release of her singles “Love Song” and “Bottle It Up” (Also used as soundtracks for movies), other songs from her major album like “Vegas”, “Many the Miles”, “City”, “Between the Lines”, “Love on the Rocks”, and “Gravity”, also promise a quality music with an exceptionally lovely melodies.
Surely, Sara Bareilles takes on a musical gravitational pull!
