Time for some melodic gurl power, everyone!!
Sara Bareilles is back with a smashing new EP - Once Upon Another Time!!
And we have an EXCLUSIVE first-listen to one of brilliant songs in her shiny new collection of musical masterpieces.
Produced by Ben Folds, Sweet As Whole is a delicate yet aggressive nod to the familiar experience of, well quite frankly, meeting an *sshole! hah!
It's a GREAT Friday night song, especially if you need to rid yourself of some icky vibes a certain *sshole might have given you during the week! Did we mention how funny it is too?? Definitely lookin' forward to the whole EP!!
Sara says of her latest project:
Once Upon Another Time was a sort-of experiment in exploration for me. I was interested in pursuing something creatively that didn't have to fit any formula or format. I wanted to approach the recording in a different way, and hopefully show another side of myself as an artist. It was quite a roller coaster ride, and ultimately made me recognize a lot of my own strengths and weaknesses, which I tried to convey with honesty. With the help of my producer and dear friend, Ben Folds, I learned to let go a little bit, and hopefully opened the door to the next chapter of music in my life. Oh, and there's a song with a lot of swear words, so that's always fun. Hope you enjoy.
Ha! Yup!! It's a little more explicit than we're used to..
Sara is totally channeling her inner '90s Alanis Morissette it seems… and WE LOVE IT!!
Make sure U grab or download Once Upon A Time when it's released May 22!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Another Sara win!
She channeled Mercury very well.
I don't know about this cut. I LOVE Sara Bareilles last two CD's, listen to them constantly and never skip a song, but this one is a bit too bitter for my taste.

fanfuckingtastic
if she doesn't get another Grammy nomination for simply this song alone… something is wrong with the world haha… ah she's brilliant. And mixed with the equally brilliant mind of Ben Folds, everyone knew it was going to be magic.
This is a rough song to get through. Love Sara B., but this song will not be on my playlist anytime soon!
So freaking hilarious! "Festering sore!" Thank you Sara- I will consider this preview a personal birthday gift just to me. I'm sure you're okay with that.
Hilarious.. So "Humboldt County".. Go Sara!!
New favorite song!!!!!
Re: D. –
Loosen the 'F' up. It's all in fun, and if you say you 'love' Sara, you certainly don't truly appreciate her sense of humour and creativity. Perhaps this song was written for you
Totally just pre-ordered! So excited for this EP.
Loving Sara B’s new song “Stay”. Can’t wait for the new EP! Check out more info and get a free download on her website:
Sara's "Sweet As Whole" is hilarious. I think that her whole EP is solid, I've always been a HUGE Sara B fan and the EP emits so many different vibes and definitely displays her dexterity as an artist… I can't wait for her next full-length!!! You can snatch the EP off iTunes…
Great track! I love the whole Once Upon Another Time EP! Can't wait for the upcoming full-length.
You guys can download the new single "Stay" for free!!
