Sara Bareilles is such a lovely lady, and her voice is angelic. There’s something in her cold voice that is so soothing and ethereal. Like every time I listen to her voice, I almost always get shrills and goosebumps because it’s just so beautiful.
In case you don’t know her, …

I’ll start by saying there are relatively few contemporary artists, emerging in the past few years, that I’ve taken much interest in. By and large, I’m much more inclined to listen to older records and artists than newer ones-which may be odd, since I’m only 25 and the majority …
