Review

Sara Bareilles' 'The Blessed Unrest' holds a special place in my heart. Released in the summer of 2013, it feels like a time capsule of personal growth and self-discovery. I remember listening to it on repeat during long drives, each song painting vivid emotional landscapes in shades of blue and grey.

The album's deliberate pacing and textured sound perfectly capture the complexities of life's struggles. From breakups to self-doubt, Bareilles doesn't shy away from the tough stuff. But it's not all heavy - tracks like 'Brave' (co-written with Jack Antonoff) burst with empowering energy, reminding us to stand tall in the face of adversity.

What I love most about 'The Blessed Unrest' is how it balances radio-friendly tunes with more daring, introspective pieces. 'Chasing the Sun' always leaves me feeling hopeful, while 'Hercules' and 'Satellite Call' showcase Bareilles' knack for poetic storytelling. It's no wonder this album earned a Grammy nomination and went gold - it's a beautiful testament to the power of vulnerability in music. - Melissa
