Artist of the Week - Sara Bareilles

Artist of the week may or may not be happening weekly - we shall see how my workload is like over the next few weeks. I chose Sara Bareilles today because her song "King of Anything" was all over the radio in Hawaii, and it reminded me how much I like her music.

Artist of the Week - Sara Bareilles

Sara Bareilles is a singer-songwriter from California. She acheived mainstream success in 2007 with her (now platinum-selling) debut album Little Voice and hit single "Love Song". She released her second album Kaleidoscope Heart last month. Her music is lead by her strong and distinctive voice, and her piano playing (although her second album has fewer single-voice-and-piano songs). Apparently the Obamas really like her, since she has performed at many White House events, and she has done quite a few collaborations with other artists, one of which I will feature here.

Gravity
Quite a popular one, off her first album

Machine Gun
I think this one really shows off her amazing voice


Winter Song (with Ingrid Michaelson)
Favourite of many youtube users, a simple and gorgeous duet

Between the Lines
She is well known for her honest and relatable lyrics


King of Anything
Definitely one of those "you go, girl!" songs!


Say You're Sorry
Deceptively upbeat
