It’s moody and textured, rolling out at a deliberate pace and colored in blues and greys, skillfully skirting the edges of alienation - for as much as Bareilles can occasionally suggest early Fiona Apple, as she does once again on “Hercules,” there is no chance she’ll chuck it all in and deliver a piano-and-drums excursion into the avant-garde - by asking listeners to lean in so they can absorb all the details. Bareilles escaped that fate, as that spot on The Sing-Off illustrates, but The Blessed Unrest doesn’t quite feel like a record written in the wake of such success. Kaleidoscope Heart was bright and almost baroque, its arrangements lush and large, the kind of record that seems hazily triumphant - which it was, to the extent that it was following her breakthrough hit “Love Song,” the kind of single that could’ve pegged her as a one-hit wonder along the lines of Vanessa Carlton.
The Blessed Unrest is the flip side of Kaleidoscope Heart, the 2010 album that presaged Sara Bareilles’ move into the mainstream, giving the singer/songwriter her first number one album and opening the door for a gig on network television hosting the competition The Sing-Off. Bareilles states “The songs on this album are a true reflection of everything I’ve come to experience in recent months.” The Blessed Unrest is led by the hit new single, “Brave.”īareilles deserves credit for not holding anything back on The Blessed Unrest, and that paid off handsomely. The album, one of her most personal efforts, features the trials and tribulations of the past year. The three-time GRAMMY®-nominated recording artist was recently named one of VH1’s “Top 100 Greatest Women in Music.” The work showcases Bareilles’ sensational vocals and unparalleled songwriting. Produced by John O’ Mahony (Coldplay, Metric) and Mark Endert (Fiona Apple, The Fray, Train), The Blessed Unrest is Sara Bareilles’ highly anticipated fourth studio album.
