I caught Sara Bareilles the first time when she was opening for Paolo Nutini concert, and was quickly enthralled by her performance. She's obviously very polished, having performed in the L.A. scene for years, but what pulled me in was how easy she made it seem and how much passion she put into the show, even when performing in a little theater in SLC. I had to have the CD within days. Her song, "Write you a love song" just started to play on the radio locally. It's is very catchy and easy to enjoy, and the rest of the songs on the CD have quickly come roll around in my head all day--her voice and her passion come through; easy to imagine myself in a smoke-filled pool hall with her crooning in the background. I look forward to more from her.
What I love about this artist/CD is her voice. She has a great smooth voice that can be powerful or so gentle and calming. I was excited when I bought her CD. I listened to it, and it's a pretty good CD. The only thing, it kind of lost me somewhere after a few songs... as in... it didn't keep my attention even thought some of the lyrics grab your attention. Some of these songs have some really good lyrics. I'm a girl who enjoys EVERY type of music... so, I'll just give you a run down on the list of songs with a rate of 1-10, 10 being the best. If you'd like to judge for yourself, you can always go to amazon.com, and listen to the music yourself which samples 30 seconds of each song. Do keep in mind that this is not just pop, it's adult contemporary, so if you're that type of person, you'd enjoy this CD. Very relaxing!

I really don't want to say so many things about Sara Bareilles CD "Little Voice" that it would sound as if you heard it all before, but this girl is awesome!!! I actually bought this CD for the hit track "Love Song" not knowing anything else about her. Nevertheless, after listening to the entire CD the first time I knew I had purchased a gem. I really like her voice, it's fresh and unique to her. I don't hear her imitating any other singers I know. I also like the fact that she's a song writer and wrote all the songs for this album except one. Also the fact she plays a mean piano. Last, I like the band she has. They have a lot of energy and compliment her voice so well. I don't have any dislike about the CD at all, out of 12 songs 9 of them I will play more than twice or three times when I listening the CD.Read full review
I had heard snippets of Sara's songs on a commercial and was intrigued enough to go on her web page and check her songs out. The short trials were enough to convince me to buy the album, and I am glad I did. These are mostly songs from a female perspective as expected, but are very well done. My favorites are "Love Song", "Bottle It Up", "Morningside" and "Fairytale", but all except for "Vegas" are good songs that stand up well on their own. For some reason I just can't relate to the song "Vegas" and would have been happier if it had been omitted from the album, but perhaps it is just me. Sara has a very nice voice that fits well with the type of songs she does, and I believe we will hear alot more from her in the future.
I love the fact that she has blended many different styles together and it works!! I decided to buy it after listening to her number 1 single "Love Song". While listening to "Love Song", I saw that she had many other songs and I decided to give them a listen. Once I listened to the other songs, I knew immediatley that I wanted the whole CD. If I can listen to a few songs ONE time and like them after listening to them ONE time, the I'm definitely a fan of the artist. This is how it was for Ms. Barielles. It even influenced me to go and check out her concert and that was just as good as the cd.
What is not to like about the inappropriately named 'Little Voice'? I bought it solely for 'Love Song'. What I realized after listening to the entire disc (numerous times) is that there isn't a bad song here. In fact, my favorite isn't even 'Love Song' for which, I am sure, this disc will be most well known (mine is actually 'One Sweet Love'). Sara offers a range from the husky-voiced lounge singer to the pop star who can belt out the tunes. I just dont have anything bad to say about it. I am eagerly awaiting her next album and will most certainly be in the front row for any appearance of hers anywhere near central Texas. Thank you, Sara, for music that is actually worth listening to today!!
This album is all you could ever want in a CD, excellent music from beginning to end. Little Voice with BIG payoff. Very fresh sound, each song has its own unique feel and you never feel that a song was included on this CD just for the heck of it. Each gem belongs. I have not felt so strongly about a CD since the Pretenders "Last of the Independents" album. If managed right Sara could have a long carrier much like a Sheryl Crow. Always nice when you spend your hard earned money a get more in return.
I bought this CD for the hit song "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles only to find that the rest of the CD is backed with more great songs. Her songs are mostly mellow, bluesy songs with great lyrics. You can always pull her up on youtube.com and see more of her hits like "Vegas", "Gravity", "Between the Lines" and "Deep City Lights." I really have enjoyed listening to this disc for the past couple weeks as the only thing I've listened to.
This is probably one of the most creative CDs out there today, and Sara Bareilles is going places. Anyone who has ever seen her live set will tell you that she's an amazing performer, and her music is so involved. I'm fortunate enough to have a copy of "Careful Confessions" (Her first CD, which is now out of stock everywhere), and let me just say, everything I have heard from her is spectacular. Enjoy
I absolutely love this CD. She is now one of my favorite artists, and definitely one of my favorite albums. Her beautiful voice mixed with the compelling and deep lyrics of life, love and relationships is to not be heard lightly. She is definitely someone I would consider a rising star and a must have in your musical collection.
