Sara Bareilles stuff is groovy Or is it the Friday effect? |
|
I swear her stuff is getting on my senses. It's growing, flowing, and sitting quietly in deep corners of my ponderous mind. Checked her philosophy and found this: "What kind of music is it?" I write mostly on piano and I'm a girl, so lots of people say it's Norah Jones, or Fiona Apple. That's fine. I love Norah's subtlety and Fiona's fierce lyrical prowess. But I also have an affinity for the playful and intelligent-pop of people like Elton John and Ben Folds. And although I don't necessarily write like them, Radiohead, the Police and Bjork changed my musical consciousness. Ben Gibbard writes better lyrics than I can even imagine up. Etta James and Sam Cooke make me wish I lived 50 years ago. Counting Crows recorded an album that I consider to be perfect, and Bob Marley created music that makes me want to be a better human being. So there's all that. And it's all in there. In me. Somewhere. So do what you will with that information, I know it's vague, but it's the best I can do. Here is to Friday. Enjoy Sara!
