For many listeners, Little Voice will be their first exposure to this soulful singer/songwriter, but it’s actually Sara Bareilles’ second record. Her first, the self-released Careful Confessions, led to a deal with Epic. Since then, Bareilles has opened for Marc Broussard and Maroon 5. She’s also become a bonafide soundtrack queen with tracks featured in female-centric films Girl Play, Loving Annabelle, and Monster-in-Law. As with her out-of-print debut, the UCLA grad wrote every song on her first major label recording (Little Voice features re-worked versions of several demo numbers). Like the portrait on the back of the CD–Bareilles in strappy black dress and lace-free high-tops–the piano-playing chanteuse combines the sweet with the scruffy. While her jazzy pop melodies are radio-ready, her relationship-oriented lyrics can be unexpectedly salty (”Bottle Up” and “Come Round Soon” wouldn’t pass FCC muster). A little profanity here and there, however, doesn’t indicate tough-girl attitude–Amy Winehouse can rest easy–so much as a desire to express herself freely. As Bareilles explains in “Love Song,” “I’m trying to let you hear me as I am.” (Not surprisingly, her degree is in communications.) Fans of Sarah McLachlan and Alicia Keyes will find much to like here. –Kathleen C. Fennessy
