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

 AWESOME December 16, 2008

The Sara Bareilles cd, Little Voice is a very emotional cd. I love her voice and all the emotions that her songs bring to me. It is not the cd to listen to when you have recently gone through a break up or a loss of a loved one, because the emotions that she put out there are so strong, you'll find yourself in tears. I am so glad that I purchased this cd and would highly recommend it to everyone. Definately a 5 star!
A throwback to better days in music December 7, 2008

There isn't alot of real "artists" coming up in the American music scene these days, but somehow one beat the odds. She actually is making it because of real talent & not the shallow pop fluff that seem to be pushed by the U.S. record industry. The album title is quite contrary to what is actually here. Sara Bareilles has one BIG VOICE !!!! She has very smooth jazz flavorings, she can make a quiet ballad very dynamic & she can belt it out when she has to, but most important, she kicks a-- on piano. The big hit was "love song" but the real masterpiece on the CD is the hauntingly beautiful "City". I bought the album because of "Love song", but the rest has mostly a nice jazz feel to it. The majority of the songs may be a bit "girly", but still very well written & performed. I'm 50 years old & although I try to keep up with new music, its been hard to find alot of things I really like but this is one. I think Sara B. is a piano counterpart to the guitar playing KT Tunstall, another of the rare breed of "artists" today.
