4-1/2 stars -- How about if I asked for it? June 18, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
For those that don't know, Little Voice is actually Sara Bareilles' second album. Her first album was a self-published album called Careful Confessions but it has since gone out of print, which is why I can let slide the fact that several of the songs on there appear on THIS album. Anyway, I was first introduced to Sara on the Tonight Show, and then after "Love Song" blew up, I decided to check the album out.
This is one of those albums that makes you wonder why it took people so long to tune into her. There are highlights galore, like "Bottle It Up", "Between the Lines" and "Morningside". By looking at those selections, though, some might be upset that there aren't as many faster cuts like the aforementioned "Love Song"; in fact, the only other one there really is is "Vegas" (which also shines). Ah well; the two-in-a-row of "One Sweet Love" and "Come Round Soon" have to have some of the most innovative lyrics I've heard in a while. Another stellar back-to-back is shown on the choir-influenced tunes "Many the Miles" and "Fairytale".
Speaking of "Fairytale", though, the only reason I knocked off half a star is because the background vocals at the beginning of the song are really dissonant. But the rest of the song (and the album) are so good that I doubt you'll care. This album may be called Little Voice, but Sara has anything but, so pick it up if you haven't already.

Beautiful Voice! June 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was first introduced to Sara Bareilles via a tv commercial. Just loved the song ("Love Song") and found her voice to be amazing. Glad that that little bit of exposure to this talented artist led me to Amazon so that I could explore more of her work. This definitely will not be my last purchase of Sara's music. The vocal sounds, writing, and overall production of this cd left me wanting more!

Charming voice, but repetitive lyrics and music lack replayability June 2, 2008 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
It is quite rare that I say or think this, but I can honestly say that I regret having purchased the entire album rather than the big single on it. Check out Youtube mixes of the other tracks, such as the dull self-important Vegas song, before making your purchase.
Also, note that Amazonunlike eMusic et al) only allows one download of a set of MP3s, so be sure to back it up as soon as you get it and/or buy the actual CD and rip it.
Love her music. June 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've loved her music for a couple of years and am so glad she's getting such well deserved recognition. Great CD, you won't regret adding it to your library.
