Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

For many listeners, Little Voice will be their first exposure to this soulful singer/songwriter, but it's actually Sara Bareilles' second record. Her first, the self-released Careful Confessions, led to a deal with Epic. Since then, Bareilles has opened for Marc Broussard and Maroon 5. She's also become a bonafide soundtrack queen with tracks featured in female-centric films Girl Play, Loving Annabelle, and Monster-in-Law. As with her out-of-print debut, the UCLA grad wrote every song on her first major label recording (Little Voice features re-worked versions of several demo numbers). Like the portrait on the back of the CD--Bareilles in strappy black dress and lace-free high-tops--the piano-playing chanteuse combines the sweet with the scruffy. While her jazzy pop melodies are radio-ready, her relationship-oriented lyrics can be unexpectedly salty ("Bottle Up" and "Come Round Soon" wouldn't pass FCC muster). A little profanity here and there, however, doesn't indicate tough-girl attitude--Amy Winehouse can rest easy--so much as a desire to express herself freely. As Bareilles explains in "Love Song", "I'm trying to let you hear me as I am." (Not surprisingly, her degree is in communications). Fans of Sarah McLachlan and Alicia Keyes will find much to like here. --Kathleen C. Fennessy


CD Description

Debut album of surprisingly confident and natural-sounding adult contemporary pop from this young Californian pianist, singer and songwriter. Drawing comparisons with Fiona Apple,Vanessa Carlton and Norah Jones, her witty and emotionally engaging songs explore aspects of life and love in the modern day. Lushly orchestrated and produced by Eric Rosse (Tori Amos), it includes the single 'Love Song', a subversive sideswipe at her record label.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great debut - fresh, different and full of hooks, 7 Aug 2008
By R. WEST-SOLEY "raldon" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Sara Bareilles is a breath of fresh air in the pop scene, and seems to have come from nowhere just when we needed an injection of hooky, melodic piano pop. Little Voice is full of catchy tunes, not least the chart success "Love Song". Stylistically there's a lot of variety here, from the bluesy "Vegas" to the edgier pop rock of "Morningside" and the sensitive, reflective ballad "Between the Lines". The clean-cut mix of piano and bass are ever-present, though, giving the album an honest approach - a bit like Maroon 5 meets Ben Folds Five, with Sara's expert vocal on top. As for Sara herself, she really has something special which defies a single comparison - at times she has a bit of Sandi Thom about her, at others she's a little Natasha Bedingfield, and then there's a bit of Gabriella Cilmi - her voice is really multifaceted.

All in all, well recommended - a great listen and every track worth revisiting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Little Voice - Big Heart, 24 Aug 2008
By The Wolf (uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
..... and still they keep coming !

Yet another gifted writer / performer.

This time from across the water.

On this evidence home-grown isn't necessarily better.

(The Divine -but disintegrating - Ms Winehouse excepted of course).

The industry's current obsession with all things female
is beginning to reach saturation point.

...... and yet .....

Perhaps Ms Bareilles may be permitted a few moments of our time.

Little Voice is a solid and splendid Little Album.

Eleven very good songs and one real cracker - 'Between The Lines' -
head-and-shoulders above the rest.

The voice is soulful, elegant and never anything less than centered.

The band and producer are on her side.

Ms Bareilles grasp of jazzy vocal inflection is light and convincing -
'Vegas'; 'Come Round Soon'; 'Love On The Rocks' and 'Fairytale'
bring the young Ms R.L. Jones to mind - and no shame in that.

'Love Song'; 'Morningside' and 'Many The Miles' demonstrate her
not insignificant R&B credentials.

With 'Between The Lines' however we come to the centre of that
which this talented young woman is capable.
It is a truly gorgeous, bitter-sweet beauty of a song, which,
had she heard it first, Ms Twain may have fought tooth and claw to
possess in an attempt to resurrect her ailing career.

This one song alone is worth the price of the album.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite album of the year, 21 Sep 2008
I have never written a review before but felt that this time, this gem of an album deserves all the credit it can get.'Love Song' is buzzing through my head all day long I think I even sing it in my sleep!! Every song is so different, a factor that is missing from a lot of albums these days, which makes it so endearing. 'Love on the Rocks' is amazing, I just adore it. Everyone should own a copy and promote this young maestro, she deserves all the fame and fortune of a Super Star. Certainly one to watch. I hope the second album is as great.
