I could write an essay on every song she's written revel in the metaphor, the imagery, the sound, the emotion, the message. She's one of the great artists of Western History and she's in the middle of the most productive period in her career. On stage, she brings the energy and wit of a late-night talk-show host while avoiding the sort of spectacle that would steal from her focus on singing and playing one of several instruments with skill. Sara writes and composes 100% of the songs on her albums (solo-writes 95% of them) with a staggering variety of themes, styles and instrumentation. Sara is a musical artist who found mainstream success years ago (you may have heard Brave, Love Song and King of Anything on the radio.) But while she's had a few hits she could have had thirty. My chosen hype-method is a a book review my subject is Sara Bareilles. How do you hype your favorite media (be it book, band, TV show, movie or whatever)? Do you shout from the mountain tops to all who will listen? Do you seek out a sympathetic friend or loved-one and beg their indulgence? Or perhaps it's enough to display your fandom through memorabilia or casual reference give others the option to unleash your enthusiasm. *This book was sent to me for review from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. My only critique is that it was very short and I would have liked a bit more but I digress - it was a great read! I would recommend Sounds Like me to Sara fans, music fans, aspiring artists and the checkout lady at Target. I was deeply moved by her honesty and furthermore inspired by her journey. Reading this book was a delight.īeing a writer, it is clear that Sara made the most of her book-writing experience. She also shares her musical process for some of her most beloved songs. She tells very personal stories about her struggles with body image and self-doubt, her past relationships and some of her darker moments. We learn about her childhood, her teen years onto college and into present day. I connected with her music on a molecular level and I belted out her songs in my car with passion and fervor. She was definitely one of the first females I listened to from this genre. Sara was one of my first delves into the world of indie-pop-folk singer-songwriters. I remember when I got Sarah's album "Little Voice" in my sophomore year of college. If you are a fan of Sara, this book is a gem.
