## Description

Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart - CD

Review: Bareilles delivers an album full of outstanding songwriting - The maturation from Sara Bareilles' major label debut to Kaleidoscope Heart is nothing short of astounding. Her prior LP, Little Voice, was a pleasant album with a few killer singles and one too many samey songs with titular metaphors. It was memorable more for its parts than its whole. "Love Song" sounded understandably tacked-on, because it was - the label sent Bareilles back to the drawing board to pen a big single. Kaleidoscope Heart dumps trite tunes and interminable balladeering in favor of an entire disc of "Love Song" caliber songwriting. The album runs at least five singles deep, a la Kelly Clarkson's explosive Breakaway, and as a whole it lays waste to every other pop album dropped in 2010. Take note, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, T-Swift, and other aspiring pop songstresses ... Ms. Bareilles has got your number. Songs stride from piano-girl pop ("Uncharted" and "Say You're Sorry") to wailing American Idol-worthy ballads ("Hold My Heart" and "Machine Gun") with stops in between for rolling bluesy licks ("Gonna Get Over You"), folky 70s AM radio ballads ("Basket Case"), and an Imogen Heap style vocoder title track. Almost of those songs stand up to the killer lead single "King of Anything," which should be ruled an illegal stimulant due to its obscenely catchy handclap-drive chorus. Its opening call and response piano/vocal duet surely owes to Bareilles' show choir club experience - it seems designed especially for a Glee club cover. Throughout the album, mature lyrics avoid any hint of girlish triteness and still contain the snappish bite of angst that fueled the best tunes on her debut. More impressively, the sonic palette of the disc manages to differentiate each tune without becoming gimmicky. That allows for great tracking, dropping slower songs at all the right points on the album. Sara Bareilles has created an incredibly confident LP rife with solid turns of songwriting and sometimes stunning vocal chops. Kaleidoscope Heart is a follow-up record that requires no caveats to enjoy - it's simply great.
Review: she "gets" it!!!! - let me tell you what Sara "gets": MELODY, MELODY, MELODY! you know why we still listen to the beatles 40+ years after they started? because their songs have elements that become en-grained in our minds. i'm not trying to compare Sara to the beatles......BUT i am saying that this new cd is incredible from start to finish and it's because she has presented a set of songs that are memorable, upbeat and dripping with melody and harmony. once you hear these songs you cannot get them out of your head. it's hard to believe that she had a self described case of writer's block leading up to this album....obviously, she broke out of it and her standards are set way high because these songs are fantastic!!!! the performances are top notch......she has a GREAT voice and one that I could listen to for hours....her piano playing is aggressive at times and she knows exactly when its time to pull back and pull you in with great dynamics. the rest of her band has turned in perfect performances for these songs. here's the cool thing; not only does she sing great melodies....many of her songs have multiple memorable melodies taking place all at once.....the piano weaves effortlessly amongst great melodies being played by the bass and sometimes guitar all WHILE she is a singing the main melody. i dont say this lightly but at times it reminds me of what you would hear in a paul mcartney written song. but dont take my word for it....BUY this cd and hear it for yourself. PLEASE take the time to support this kind of artist.....she is the kind of artist that truly understands how to present to the listener a great collection of songs! thank you sara!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nearly Flawless Album From A Special Talent
*by A***R on August 4, 2011*

Best kept secrets are those that really aren't - in the span of just 10 days, I have gone from not knowing anything about Sara Bareilles to becoming a raving fan. We saw Sugarland at the Greek Theater in L.A. on 7/25/11, and Sara Bareilles was a supporting act. I was engrossed and touched by her performance, and thus ordered this CD from Amazon. Kaleidoscope Heart is such a refreshing and satisfying experience - the musical blends, brilliant lyrics, and heavenly voice all combine to create a nearly flawless record. Sara truly sings from the heart, and her insight into life and love and pain and understanding really borders on the remarkable. She is a very special (pure) talent. 'Let the Rain' is the best song that I have heard in a long, long time. It's Sara's anthem, and now it's mine too. The rest of the record is packed with hits like 'Uncharted', 'King of Anything', 'Gonna Get Over You', 'Hold My Heart', 'The Light', 'Machine Gun', etc. Not a single loser to skip among the bunch - how many records can we honestly say that about? [edit: 'Breathe Again' has become another favorite of mine - what a tremendous song, the more I listen to it the more I fall in love with it). I wouldn't hesitate for a second to see her perform again, either as a headline or supporting act - Sara B. deserves to be a major star, and with astounding albums like this one, she's well on her way to becoming one.
