magicaddictGood taste in pop music?
Well, maybe not, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.
Sara Bareilles appears to be breaking through in the UK, after finally reaching the public properly, and getting herself onto secondary rotation at Radio 2, with the first single off her second album, King of Anything (already covered with great success by Sam Tsui & Kurt Schneider - expect Glee clubs the world over to be doing the same in the next forty seconds or so).
This is quite pleasing, as I disovered her quite some time ago when she got a single play on commercial radio somewhere, and think she's rather good.
Her most famous effort is probably Love Song, written in response to her label telling her she needed to have another love song on her first album to make it sell properly (and I'm not sure this is what they had in mind), and she has several other excellent tracks on there as well (Fairytale, again not what it sounds like, and Many The Miles, to name a couple). My favourite of all, however, is Between the Lines - about a fizzling breakup that neither side can bring themselves to end with a bang.
Her next album is out later this month, and she's touring the UK supporting Maroon 5 as we speak. On balance, I decided that paying to watch a band I didn't particularly like so I could watch their support and go home probably wasn't a good call, but it was close.
