Heart and courage are two qualities that permeate Sara Bareilles' music. The singer/songwriter specialises in songs that uplift and inspire, grafting the earnest sweetness of the open-mic troubadour she once was to the stadium-filling pop ace she's become. She earned accolades (and chart success) with the guileless “Love Song”, on her 2007 debut, and though her intimate, strummy ballads caught the attention of TV music supervisors, it was her soaring, triumphant 2013 single “Brave” that made Bareilles a superstar.
