9. Once Upon Another Time, 2012

“This the the album for fans who love Sara in the throes of her own musical freedom. ‘Once Upon’ and ‘Bright Lights’ are the best pieces – haunting melodies and minimal, perfect accompaniment, just enough to show off Sara’s beautiful voice and intriguing lyrics. ‘Lie To Me’ is delightfully edgy and electric, and ‘Sweet As Whole’ will make you laugh. ‘Stay’ is classy and just gorgeous.”

8. More Love (Songs From Little Voice Season One), 2020

“Sara has mastered the art of phrasing so well that she tells a story with each song. You can understand every word, but more than that, she sings the words so that the sound of her voice helps to convey the meaning of each word, and she combines the words so they create a musical vision of her story. There is also so much brilliance and originality in her words and music that they deserve and essay of their own. I have been following Sara and her musical journey for over a decade now and in my opinion, this is her finest work to date.”

7. Careful Confessions, 2004

“This is a wonderful album. It has many songs that appear on Little Voice, but do not assume they are the same tracks. The versions of those songs on this album are different arrangements, and they vary from different tempos to different vocal styles. I particularly like the more up tempo version of One Sweet Love, and Gravity with the backing drum track that appear on this album.”

6. Brave Enough: Live At The Variety Playhouse, 2013

“With her studio albums, Sara Bareilles has established herself as a terrific songwriter – intelligent and heartfelt with great pop sensibilities. Her studio performances, however, have always felt a little …. safe. There is a sense of restraint in those studio recordings that leaves one wondering what Ms. Bareilles is holding back. With Brave Enough, we get a taste of that pent-up potential and see Sara Bareilles flex her musical muscles. Most of the set is just Sara singing while accompanying herself on piano. Her vocals in this recording are a real treat – her range and control are phenomenal and her phrasing showcases these qualities while remaining tasteful.”

5. What’s Inside: Songs From Waitress, 2015

4. Amidst The Chaos, 2019

“One thing about Sara Bareilles is that she knows how to tell a story. This is evermore apparent in her new album, Amidst the Chaos, coming off of years cooking up (er, creating) her Broadway musical, Waitress. This album is more theatrical, more grounded, than some of her more catchy, more bubblegum pieces from her past (T Bone Burnett! I’m so here for this collaboration!) This album shows that Ms. Bareilles has a deep understanding of the world around her, and isn’t afraid to use her voice in a time of uncertainty (er, “chaos”). I have been a super fan for a long time, and this feels like a breakthrough moment for her; not just commercially but personally. We should be happy to have her.”

3. Little Voice, 2007

“When I think of great pop records, does it get any better than this? Well, no, it doesn’t. Sara B’s Little Voice is one of the best, most consistent, and most listenable records I’ve ever heard. It’s somewhat rare to find a record where every song is good, but this is one example. Sara has true talent, and it shines through on this record. She writes all her own music, has a great voice, and is a great pianist – a true musical triple threat.”

2. The Blessed Unrest, 2013

“The lyrics and the words she uses, her phrasing, where she lilts hits me as being UN-contrived, effortless, spontaneous. There is a naturalness in the manner songs move from one to the next (fast tempo to ballad and back). The imagery and language she uses makes me appreciate the poet in her. But what touches me most is how her voice and artistry feel flowing from the heart first and only secondarily from the mind. There is a strange inexplicable timelessness to her melodies, very catchy (Little Black Dress is playing over and over in my head!) and, in some, melancholy.”

1. Kaleidoscope Heart, 2010

“Sara Bareilles is a fantastic singer, and her vocals seem at the forefront in the mix like they should be. The album starts off strong, but I think it dips in form in the latter half. I think many of the better songs aren’t actually memorable for the music, it’s more to do with the strong singing and vocal melodies. Musically, it is piano-driven, with guitar and drums in some songs. “King of Anything” is catchy and one of the stronger songs musically. If you want a singer-songwriter with a fantastic voice, then you can’t really go wrong; I just think it could be a bit more consistent.”
