Product Description

Amazon.com
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

 Love this CD!!! September 2, 2008
Sara Bareilles is wonderful! I enjoy every track, and every time I listen...I hear something new!! She is an amazing artist. Take a moment,
and listen to "Little Voice". I'm sure you will find out as I have how
great it is to buy a CD and actually enjoy every song!!! Don't let the
title fool you, there is nothing little about Sara Bareilles' voice!!
Addictive! August 25, 2008
All I can say is WOW. This girl can sing, and what's more she can write and play. Do yourself a favor and get this CD. Just remember though, I am not responsible if you become addicted to it.
where is extended version with lines about "love letter..." August 8, 2008

I was listening MIKE radio in Boston and heard a long version that included lines "I'm not going to write you a love LETTER...." in addition to the eponymous "Love Song." Where is that extended and augmented version, pretty sure it runs past the 4:20 or so on the album.
Anyone familiar with THAT version??

A lot of good elements, but this album just doesn't quite have enough soul or depth to make it past radio pop.
My favorite CD of 2007, and 2008! August 4, 2008

I bought this cd last summer and I still haven't taken it out of my stereo. Her voice is a breathe of fresh air! I love her sound - soulful, folk, strong but quiet. When I heard that the radio was playing "Love Song" I was excited that she was getting recognition. I just hope this doesn't change her sound. Cannot wait to see what she does next. I would like to hear more acoustic with just her and her piano!
If you are debating whether or not to buy this cd, give it a chance, you will not be disappointed!
