While there’s bound to be a bit of audience overlap, is part of the idea to pick up new fans from each other’s followings? The Hollywood Reporter: You’ll be co-headlining in a couple of months with One Republic. Given her longstanding love of musical theater, it’s unlikely she’ll ever rise in protest against the show’s producers and compose a song based around the hook “I’m not gonna write you a show-stopping 11 o’clock number.”
THR inquired about her about Blessed Unrest and its first single - a coming-out anthem, “Brave” - as well as her intriguing involvement in a planned Broadway musical based on Adrienne Shelley’s film Waitress. In the meantime, she’s switched out her entire band in anticipation of a co-headlining tour of amphitheaters in September with One Republic, a bill that may emphasize her desire to find an audience that appreciates pure pop craftsmanship as well as personal musings. Fans who couldn’t get in can take some solace in the fact that her ecstatically reviewed stop at L.A.’s El Rey Theatre was filmed for an upcoming DVD release.
On this album, she “took advice that was actually given to me a really long time ago about not being too precious about the choices you make.”īareilles preceded her latest album (which hit stores this week) with a solo tour of clubs and small theaters that sold out instantly. “I’ve always been very autobiographical in the way that I write, but that can be dressed up a million different ways,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter.
It was written as a response to her label telling her she needed to come up with a hit her musical response, about how she had no intention of conforming, turned out to be just the blockbuster the record company wanted.īut the rebelliousness that bubbled up in “Love Song” didn’t mean that Bareilles brushed off having the hit when she got one, or that she isn’t striving to be radio-friendly in her own fashion Her just-released new album, The Blessed Unrest, is the first of her long-players to break with her signature piano-based sound in a big way, instead favoring up-to-the-moment beats and stylings, even if the underlying sentiments are no less singer-songwriterly than ever. Sara Bareilles’ breakthrough, 2007’s “Love Song,” has to count as one of the most ironic smashes ever.
