Sara Bareilles Album Haiku

By Andrea Williams

Album Haiku: Kaleidoscope Heart by Sara Bareilles

Love, truth, & yourself.

Kaleidoscope of Lyrics.

Sara up a notch.

4 out of 5

Songs we can’t take off repeat; “Kaleidoscope Heart,” “Gonna Get Over You,” “King of Anything,” and “Let the Rain.”

Yes, it’s pop music. However, put that aside, drop down your hip indie wall of “no mainstream” and listen to this album. Sara has soul, and the ability to sway your ear buds with gorgeous melodies. Upbeat and smooth, snapping, and her fast moving fingers keep you going through the album. Her talent on the piano… beautiful; her vocals… beautiful. The two together priceless. At first I couldn’t get over the production on “King of Anything” but lately I can’t get over “Gonna Get Over You.” This album is a girl’s must have! Sara just puts her heart into the music and the entire album is stylishly grand. You will be singing along in no time, guarantee you that!
