Welcome To… Sara Bareilles: 20 Songs That Will Make You A Fan
This year is a special anniversary for Sara Bareilles. Ten years ago, Sara released her first major label album, Little Voice, and its lead single, “Love Song,” became the kind of hit musicians dream about. Since then, Sara has churned out singles like “King Of Anything” and “Brave,” both empowering anthems. Now, a full decade after that initial success, Sara is starring in a Broadway musical she helped create. Her musical Waitress is on Broadway now, and Sara’s singing songs she wrote for it.
