Overdue Review: Sara Bareilles' "Kaleidoscope Heart"

Let's face it. Most pop on the radio today sucks. The majority of it is thoughtless crap written by a man-behind-the-curtain and performed by increasingly irritating tweens who try to belt it out like they wrote all those words about their first crush or love or whatever the hell you wanna call it. Ugh. Ugh times a thousand.

But wait, don't leave yet-there's hope! And her name is Sara Bareilles. Sara made it big with her hit single "Love Song" in 2007, which, incidentally, she wrote about her frustration with the record company telling her "just write a love song for us." The song was part of her hit debut album Little Voice-now, three years later, Sara is back with her follow up album "Kaleidoscope Heart". Was it worth the wait, and does Ms. Bareilles continue to impress in the singer/songwriter and adult pop genres? Read on to find out!
