Grade: B+
In an unfortunate age where radio stations favor songs filled with auto-tuned voices and synthesizers, Sara Bareilles gives listeners a welcome change with her latest album, “The Blessed Unrest.” Bareilles’ fourth studio album is an honest take on an emotional roller coaster that almost everyone can relate to. It must be noted that each track on the album was either written or co-written by Bareilles herself. Those who are fans of her previous hits such as “Love Song” or “King of Anything” will love “Little Black Dress.” It’s one of the catchiest songs on the latest album and is accented by horns and Bareilles’ piano. “The Blessed Unrest” is a must-have album for anyone who isn’t afraid to listen to a real voice accompanied by real instruments for a change.
