Sara Bareilles: Kaleidoscope Heart


Sara Bareilles’ sophomore album, Kaleidoscope Heart, released about a month ago, features the first single King of Anything, and is a brilliant piece of work from the singer-songwriter.

The title track, Kaleidoscope Heart, is a short one-minute slow piece that starts the pace for the rest of the album. Things start picking up on the second track, Uncharted, and you will start loosening up after listening to this.

Up next is my personal favourite, Gonna Get Over You, a catchy number which gets you tapping your toes and swaying your body to the beat. By the end of the song, the beat is so infectious that you will probably find yourself singing along!

Another gem in this album is a fun song, King of Anything, which Bareilles pokes fun at, possibly an ex, who thinks highly of himself. This track was featured on the 7th season premiere of CBS’ Medium TV series.

The rest of the album is filled with songs like Hold My Heart, Say You’re Sorry and Not Alone that reflects the emotions of the singer-songwriter towards her relationships.

Other tracks such as Bluebird, Let The Rain and Send Me The Moon are slow pieces that are suitable for a day lounging around the house.

The lyrics and comforting piano sounds of Bareilles’ songs are bound to amaze you after listening to the entire album. Two thumbs up from me for the multi-talented singer’s latest effort!

The author first fell in love with the singer’s smooth and soothing vocals on Love Song.
