Having known very little about Sara Bareilles before making this purchase, I have nothing but high praise for this album. Its very well-written and she has a real soulful voice. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fresh new sound.

big, sultry voices from little girls is the "it" thing now, and miss bareilles delivers. The production is derivative, mediocre pop. the lyrics are more informational than emotional, and sara's delivery is tonal but off-center. lacks the verve of Macy Gray and the strength and wisdom of Alicia Keys. to her credit, she can don teen-pop magazine covers for months with her welcoming eyes and slightly parted lips. enjoy the world of pop music, sara bareilles.
