5.16.13 - New Music - Sara Bareilles 

Sara Bareilles is one of my absolute favorites, and her upcoming ‘The Blessed Unrest’ is probably my most anticipated album (lord knows if Gaga or Beyonce are actually going to release anything this year). I very much enjoyed lead single “Brave”, but there was something missing. It’s a great track, but there wasn’t that special something that Sara and only Sara can bring to the table.

Enter: “Manhattan”. The song is a promotional single, and while it won’t make many waves, it has absolutely floored me. The song is immediately relatable and yet cinematically romantic. The song plays like the most devastating of love scenes, and I can feel physical pain in my chest when she utters her last words and the horns calmly lay you down.

If you haven’t given yourself over to the cult of Sara, now’s a good time to do so.
