I don't write about particular albums often enough, probably, but I just picked up a new artist for a great price from iTunes and, let me just tell you, she is fantastic! Her name is Sara Bareilles and she writes piano-based ballads and observations. She has a great voice, and a fun/quircky personality that really shines through on the album. And she's even cute! Haha.
Anyway, if you're curious and want a sample, you can check out a live performance below:
Also, check her out on iTunes if you like what you hear. Her album is on special right now: the whole thing for only $6.99!
