Fresh wind in the singer-songwriters

Every ten years appears the genre of singer-songwriter flourish anew. Women like Joni Mitchell or Carole King should be very happy, because they basically are indeed the spiritual mothers of this new genre Stars. In addition to constant quantities of this division as Tori Amos, Fiona Apple or Alanis Morissette new faces (or in this case votes) very refreshing. Miss Bareilles travels with her debut on the safe side: Something popiger than it is usual for the genre, but exceptionally. Much like Amos and Apple it very tightly constructed their songs around the piano, and also lets you take from this. For the most part act the songs of love, unfortunately a little too often, which is why you have to make some compromises in quality this album. But then find compositional gems such as "Vegas", "Come Round Soon" or "Morningside", where listening is fun. The already decoupled lead single "Love Song" is unfortunately one of the worse songs on the album, as he was rolled on its potential addition to 4:18.
In general, the song structures are built up very clearly and simply, the listener will not run over here with almost maniacal sound constructs à la Apple. Therefore, it is possible to insert the CD into the player and just start to hear. Sometimes there are some songs borrowed from other genres such as rock or blues sometimes, but is dominated by a pleasant, not annoying pop, which is very welcome in the current musical landscape.
Thanks to artists such as Sara Bareilles handmade music could regain the popularity status it deserves.
