4.18.13 - New Music - Sara Bareilles

Has it really been almost three years since Sara Bareilles’ last album? It certainly doesn’t seem so. I don’t know what surprises me more: the fact that three years have passed since I first heard “King of Anything” or that I lived that long without new music from Sara.

“Brave” is typically brilliant, but this should come as a shock to exactly zero people. Every time Sara puts pen to paper and steps up to a microphone magic happens. “Brave” does come about a year and a half after the whole “love yourself/you’re perfect/BABY YOU’RE A FIREEEEWORKKKKKK” thing ended, and it is oddly timed in terms of the name of the song (“Brave” is also the name of Josh Groban’s latest single), but we’re not going to worry about that.

The tune was co-written by fun.’s Jack Antonoff and it is officially out on April 22nd (Monday, but you can head over to the page now to see it’s brilliant…storefront…). I hope this becomes as big a hit as “KoA”…and then some!
