For now, it's usually me and my piano (that I rent cause I don't have one), my lousy grammar, and some emotion that makes me feel like I'm bursting at the seams. And it's the best feeling in the world." - Sara Bareilles

Sara released Little Voice. Sara said of the LP: "It's a collection of songs that pretty much mean the world to me. They chronicle my life, my relationships, my basket-case-ness, and my utter devotion to trying to write honest stuff down and share it. That's where the title comes from. This record was really about me learning to trust my own instincts, and more importantly, recognize how desperately I needed to learn to listen to myself, however inexperienced and naive I may be. It sounds cliche, but that little voice is sometimes the only voice that's speaking the truth. I think that's pretty f***ing cool."
