Great debut - fresh, different and full of hooks August 7, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
SMASHING! August 4, 2008
This is fantastic - I cant put it any better than that - it wraps around you like your favourite blanket and sounds like an old CD you've loved for years! Not a single bad track on it - an absolute smasher !!
The kind of music I've missed... July 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Is it me or has music lately been all the same R'n'B/Hip Hop/Dance remixes?
Anyway, I first heard Sarah's "Love Song" on Radio 1 and really liked it, and enjoyed her natural singing talent. I decided to view some of her other songs on YouTube and liked them all so for the first time in MANY months I bought an album...and haven't been disapointed.
As with any album some songs are stronger than others. Highlights for me are of course "Love Song" and "Bottle It Up" with "Gravity" and "One Sweet Love" being other highlights. However my favourite is certainly "Between the Lines"
Some songs are a little American for me but I can forgive that. Hope to see more good work from a clearly very talented young lady...
Standing applause for modestly titled "Little Voice" June 21, 2008
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
There is a jungle of female singer/songwriters out there, but only a few with a talent as Sara Bareilles. With "Little Voice" Sara Bareilles demonstrates that she is much more than one in a crowd of indistingishable artists. She is a poignant lyricist, versatile musician,and confident singer.
I especially like the way she works with rhythms in her songs. Some songs have drums and percussion, but the piano is the key in the rhythm.
On some songs it is easy to identify her musical inspirations, but Sara Bareilles manages to let herself be inspired and take flight on her own.
Sara Bareilles deserves a standing applause for the modestly titled "Little Voice".

Something about Sarah June 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
From the first time i heard the single released from this album, 'Love Song', i just knew that there was something special about this artist. And I wasn't wrong. We have all bought an album off the back of a good single and been disappointed, this will not happen with Sarah Bareilles. She has a beautiful voice, with an amazing mixture of blues verses pop vocalised with an elegant variety of power and beautiful dulcet tones. She reminds me a lot of Sarah McLaughlin especially the last track on the album, 'Gravity' (the tone of her voice is sometimes quite similar, this is by no means a bad thing)I wanted to write about each song as they are all spectacular but i think that you just need to buy the album to fully appreciate the quality of this artist. You should buy this album if you like the single. It is nice to find some 'fresh' music in amongst all of the copycat artists out there.
