Her prior LP, Little Voice, was a pleasant album with a few killer singles and one too many samey songs with titular metaphors. It was memorable more for its parts than its whole. "Love Song" sounded understandably tacked-on, because it was - the label sent Bareilles back to the drawing board to pen a big single. Kaleidoscope Heart dumps trite tunes and interminable balladeering in favor of an entire disc of "Love Song" caliber songwriting. The album runs at least five singles deep, a la Kelly Clarkson's explosive Breakaway, and as a whole it lays waste to every other pop album dropped in 2010. Take note, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, T-Swift, and other aspiring pop songstresses ... Ms. Bareilles has got your number. Songs stride from piano-girl pop ("Uncharted" and "Say You're Sorry") to wailing American Idol-worthy ballads ("Hold My Heart" and "Machine Gun") with stops in between for rolling bluesy licks ("Gonna Get Over You"), folky 70s AM radio ballads ("Basket Case"), and an Imogen Heap style vocoder title track. Almost of those songs stand up to the killer lead single "King of Anything," which should be ruled an illegal stimulant due to its obscenely catchy handclap-drive chorus. Its opening call and response piano/vocal duet surely owes to Bareilles' show choir club experience - it seems designed especially for a Glee club cover. Throughout the album, mature lyrics avoid any hint of girlish triteness and still contain the snappish bite of angst that fueled the best tunes on her debut. More impressively, the sonic palette of the disc manages to differentiate each tune without becoming gimmicky. That allows for great tracking, dropping slower songs at all the right points on the album. Sara Bareilles has created an incredibly confident LP rife with solid turns of songwriting and sometimes stunning vocal chops. Kaleidoscope Heart is a follow-up record that requires no caveats to enjoy - it's simply great.

Following up her terrific debut album, "Little Voice," Sara once again proves that she has the musical chops to outperform many others who have been in the music business for over a decade. Please don't judge this album by the single, "King of Anything." I would say that song is the least enjoyable one on the album (I have no idea why it was picked for a single). When I first heard this song on the radio several months ago I was very worried that she had gone in a different direction. Thankfully, I was delighted by the rest of the album. That single not withstanding, the rest of the album is much better and has a lot to offer. The majority of the album showcases the sophistication of Sara's songwriting skills and the beauty of her voice. Sara is an exceptional performer whose gorgeous voice can transform any song, but it really shines in: "The Light" and "Breath Again." This album is indeed a very strong effort with a mix of upbeat tunes and ballads. If you are a fan of her first album, definitely grab "Kaleidoscope Heart." --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/784352219-kaleidoscope-heart](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/784352219-kaleidoscope-heart) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
