The multi-talented Sara Bareilles captured hearts and achieved critical praise in 2007 when she released the hugely successful hit ‘Love Song’ (click here to watch) from the debut album Little Heart (out now through Epic Records). The track reached #1 in 22 countries around the world and stayed in the Billboard Hot 100 for a massive 41 weeks, peaking at #4 and remained in the top ten for 20 weeks. The track was also nominated for Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal at the 51st Grammy Awards.
Bareilles’ sophomore album Kaleidoscope Heart (Epic Records), which she released in 2010, went straight to number one on the Billboard 200. The lead single ‘King of Anything’ once again earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Vocal Performance and certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Her talent and passion are proven through the undisputable longevity of success on each album and for being able to follow them up with more global hits each time. In July last year she released her third album, The Blessed Unrest (Epic Records) which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 and saw her join OneRepublic for a co-headline US tour.
Without skipping a beat, her latest album scored her another two Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for lead single ‘Brave’ (click here to watch). The song has been widely picked up by television, saw her perform on Ellen and was even performed by Glee cast members earlier this year. Her latest offering from the record ‘I Choose You’ was released 9 months after ‘Brave’, a strong follow up to the massive hit, which Bareilles performed acoustically backstage for Jimmy Fallon.
In September last year, Taylor Swift brought Bareilles out on stage during her Los Angeles show as part of The Red Tour, which caused an online frenzy as the two vocal powerhouses sang ‘Brave’ to a very lucky and awe-struck audience.
Amongst her busy schedule of songwriting and performing, in 2012 she released a documentary titled A Trace of the he Sun: Volunteering in Japan which chronicled her time volunteering in Japan following the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated coastal cities. Shortly after she released an EP titled Once Upon Another Time which was produced by Ben Folds, a fellow judge on NBC’sThe Sing Off, which has uncovered such acts such as Pentatonix and The Collective. Recorded in Folds’ studio in Nashville, The Collective also features on track ‘Stay’ lifted from the creative collaboration EP.
