Sara Bareilles’ first major label album, Little Voice, is a vibrant combination of soulful melodies and upbeat, catchy tracks. She has been compared to Norah Jones, Fiona Apple and Vanessa Carlton, and her voice is anything but little.April 30, at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Bareilles will play to a sold out crowd as part of her first headlining tour. The show, with special guests Rachael Yamagata and David Ford starts at 8 p.m. Tickets were $17.50. So far, she has received rave reviews.Bareilles’ first demo, Careful Confessions, caught the attention of Epic Records, who signed a deal with her in 2005. Little Voice was released July 2007. Bareilles’ hit single “Love Song” gained widespread popularity after appearing in a Rhapsody.com commercial. It peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, according to Billboard.com. Her new single, “Bottle It Up” is mellower than the first, but just as addictive.“This record was really about me learning to trust my own instincts, and more importantly, recognize how desperately I need to learn to listen to myself, however inexperienced and naïve I might be,” writes Sara Bareilles on her Web site. “It sounds cliché, but that little voice is sometimes the only voice that’s speaking the truth.”
