Michel: Designed for a goopy wedding-proposal-YouTube-video, except you can’t even switch to another tab and just ignore the clip.Īnthony Easton: I would like more narrative economy and less flourishes on the production here. A triumph of arrangement over songwriting. (And it goes on for over 3 minutes!) Pining for authenticity is for chumps, yet I can’t help but crave for a new single from Sara Bareilles that’s just her plunking away at a piano and trilling at coffeehouse patrons.Īlfred Soto: The point at which the pizzicato and Bareilles, mixed to sound as if singing behind the Pyrenees, negotiate for space is lovely and unexpected. “I Choose You” sounds so tinny and overworked, like a twee “Soak Up the Sun,” or a Regina Spektor song boiled down to 15-second jingle. Ultimately, it’s the production that fails her, every time. And at least it’s a step up from “Brave” (which may have very well been improved by Katy Perry’s “ Roar“). It’s still better than most commercial-filler songs her voice is still warm, bright, and friendly. This song is an unfortunate single when compared to that early promise of potential. She was following a model, but was still spontaneous and spunky, like a polished Regina Spektor, or a more jazz-influenced Sheryl Crow.
Gowns: Back in high school, I loved Sara Bareilles’ debut, “Careful Confessions.” I liked her for her winks - sure, she was making generic coffeehouse rock, but she had a sparkle.
