She has a passion for writing, singing and conveying her message through her music. The minute I put this CD in, I felt happy and rocked to every song.
My only complaint is that the "bonus" CD is not a DVD & you must play it on your computer to see the live performances, so you can't take advantage of the better sound you would get playing it through your sound system. I'm very pleased with this CD & wrote a positive review of this on the regular CD version.
Love her.Deb Catchy lyrics with real emotions. Love, love, love Sarah. Thought I'd get tired of this CD after the first month I had it and play it every minute of the day, but I haven't.
Lyrically and musically, her most impressive songs include the short, but quite delightful, "Fairytale" and the memorable ballad "Gravity". 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. "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. 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". 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".
This is an impressive first effort from a fresh young talent. Her voice is bright and crystal clear - and she employs it with complete control, no "Mariah Carey"ing on here. The melodies are infectious and the arrangements are sparse enough to allow the vocals and piano shine through. This is the debut(). I look forward to future offerings from Ms.Bareilles eagerly; this might be the start of something big. The songs are well-crafted, original, and bouncy. CD for a gifted young chanteuse. Two have received national airplay.'Love Song' and 'Many the Miles'.
