Sara Bareilles
Sara Bareilles appeared to be a throwback to another era when she released her debut Little Voice in 2007. Much of this retro vibe rested upon her reliance on audaciously melodic songcraft, a skill showcased on her smash single "Love Song," a tune that managed to spin classic singer/songwriter tropes into the modern era. This facility with the past and flair for the present helped Bareilles become one of the most successful and enduring singer/songwriters of her generation. She racked up her big hits during the late 200s and 2010s--"Love Song" went to number four, "King of Anything" peaked at 32 in 2010, "Brave" topped out at 23 in 2013--and then she turned to Broadway, where she composed the songs for the 2015 musical adaptation of Adrienne Shelly's Waitress. Bareilles found a second home in theater, earning a Tony nomination for her score for 2016's SpongeBob SquarePants, then appearing as Mary Magdalene in NBC's television production of Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, a role which earned her two Emmy nominations. By this point, she had become part of the showbiz firmament, winning a Grammy for "Saint Honesty" in 2019 and adapting her songbook for the 2020 Apple TV+ television series Little Voice. Born and raised in Eureka, California, Bareilles grew up participating in choir and local theater, later learning piano while studying at UCLA, where she was enrolled in their Communication Studies program. There, Bareilles spent the majority of her spare time studying her new environment and writing poetry and songs about the busy surroundings. After graduation, she spent the next three years performing her songs at open-mike nights, slowly building her confidence as a musician before graduating to local clubs and festivals. In 2003, she co-produced her first demo, Careful Confessions, and became enthralled with recording techniques. Eager to go back to the studio and create a second full-length album, she started shopping her CD around and signed a deal with Epic Records in April 2005. Producer Eric Rosse took her under his wing the following February and the two spent a little over a year perfecting the orchestration -- nearly half of the songs had formerly appeared on Careful Confessions, and a new batch of tracks was carefully constructed in order to make her first major-label release as strong as possible. The lyrical themes of the album, entitled Little Voice and released in July 2007, covered her past relationships, insecurities, and inner battles with trying to trust her instincts. The single "Love Song" made the album a hit; both the single and album reached the Top Ten, with "Love Song" eventually selling more than three million copies. With a hit album on her hands, Bareilles toured heavily for the next two years, releasing a concert album (Between the Lines: Sara Bareilles Live at the Fillmore) along the way. Playing her songs night after night inspired her to begin writing new material, and she found herself drawn to material that was bigger, bolder, and peppier than the songs that comprised Little Voice. The result was Kaleidoscope Heart, which marked her second major-label effort upon its release in mid-2010. Kaleidoscope Heart debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, beginning a hectic year for Bareilles. She toured the album well into 2011 and in the fall of that year, she signed on to NBC's televised competition The Sing-Off as a judge. After The Sing-Off wrapped up its run in the spring of 2012, Bareilles recorded the Once Upon Another Time EP with her fellow judge Ben Folds acting as producer. She toured semi-regularly throughout 2012 as she prepped a new album. That full-length, her fourth, was called The Blessed Unrest and was released in July 2013. Partially on the strength of the single "Brave," The Blessed Unrest debuted at two on the Billboard Top 200 upon its release, and in the next year it received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year; "Brave" also received a nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance. Following the album cycle for The Blessed Unrest, Bareilles turned her attention toward completing a memoir and writing the music for Diana Paulus' Broadway musical adaptation of Adrienne Shelly's 2007 film Waitress. Both projects surfaced in the autumn of 2015. The book, entitled Sounds Like Me, appeared in October, while What's Inside: Songs from Waitress saw release in November. Her ties to Waitress extended into 2017, when Bareilles made her Broadway debut, appearing in the lead role of Jenna Hunterson for a limited ten-week run. She reprised her role in 2018 before starring as Mary Magdalene on a television adaptation titled Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert! She received an Emmy nomination for her role and the set was later nominated for a Grammy. Bareilles returned to her pop career in 2019 with her sixth full-length, Amidst the Chaos, which featured songwriting contributions by Lori McKenna and production by T-Bone Burnett. It reached number six on the U.S. album chart. She won her first Grammy the following year for Best American Roots Performance on "Saint Honesty," a song she had performed as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. The 2020 Apple TV+ comedy-drama Little Voice was named after and featured her song of the same name. Later that year Bareilles released an album of her own versions of songs from the series titled More Love: Songs from Little Voice, Season One. In 2021, Bareilles released her first live album: Amidst the Chaos: Live from the Hollywood Bowl, documenting a November 2019 concert at the fabled Los Angeles venue.© Jason Lymangrover & Neil Z.
