Song Name: Between the Lines
Artist: Sara Bareilles
Album: Little Voice

Why This Song?:

Sara Bareilles has gained national attention from her song from a TV commercial. Much like Yael Naim’s “New Soul” for the MacBook Air commercial, Sara’s “Love Song” has become synonomous with Rhapsody.

However, despite becoming well-known based on a commercial (which seems likely to end in a very short career), this chick isn’t just a one-hit wonder in the vein of Natasha Bedingfield, who I doubt will have anything relevant again following “Unwritten.” If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong, but I think that chick about as much talent as the members of Good Charlotte combined. A multiplication of zero is still zero.

Sara’s album “Little Voice” is filled with potential hits. Although, it might not be ground-breaking it is easy to listen to and is undoubtedly memorable.

By far, the best track on the album is the slow-paced, piano-ballad “Between the Lines.” Her voice sounds great, the piano sounds beautiful, and the song sounds like it’s something I can listen to quite a few times through.

I have a lot of hope for Sara and really would like for have some staying power. That’s more than I can say for most women singer-songwriters, especially ones that have had any type of radio success. Hopefully she’s more Alanis Morisette than Meredith Brooks, Natasha Bedingfield, Natalie Imbruglia, Joan Osbourne or [ insert your own choice of female singer-songwriter one hit wonder here ].
