Apparently she wants to do a collaboration with Frank Ocean. I love that her music taste is all over the place, it's refreshing.

I got the album
I Choose You remind me so much of I knew you were trouble by Taylor, but as a slower version!

Although she didn't win last, she is now a five-time Grammy nominated singer!
Plus, I loved her performance with Carole King!

I slept on this big time. Should have won AOTY, especially given the other options. 1. Sara 2. Taylor 3. Kendrick 4. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis 5. Daft Punk, obv.
As for songs, this list was pretty much a no-brainer for me:
1. I Choose You (it's rare that a song this bouncy can bring me to tears but this masterpiece comes DANGEROUSLY close...so beautiful) 2. Satellite Call (this song speaks to my soul) 3. 1000 Times 4. Beautiful Girl 5. Brave 6. Little Black Dress 7. Islands 8. December 9. Manhattan 10. Parking Lot 11. Chasing The Sun 12. Cassiopeia 13. Hercules 14. Eden
Some of this album (in particular "Islands") gave me Paula Cole vibes. Very, VERY nice job. Oh...and as much as December hit me when I was listening to it, by the time I got through the album, it sunk further and further down. It is NO Gravity but only my first 2 songs rival that classic. This is the first Sara album I own and I am very happy with my purchase.

The next singles should be Eden, Chasing the Sun and Hercules.
Eden has been my go to song as of late. I've always liked it. It has so much potential. I love the Prince intro. Great sound. The chorus is great. Just a great song all around.
Chasing the Sun would smash on Hot AC.
Hercules is just so special. I love her pleading vocals. The song is full of desperation. Love love love it.
I was surprised they went with I Choose You as the second single but it's actually a nice choice. Much better than her original pick which would have been Manhattan.

Yeah...those are my least two favorite on the album and don't have any replay value for me. Really glad they went with I Choose You. My second favorite Sara song after Gravity.

The 4 songs that I want to be future singles the most are "Chasing the Sun", "Manhattan", "Little Black Dress" and "December". "Chasing the Sun" is the obvious hit in the wings and hopefully they follow "I Choose You" with that.

I would switch Manhattan with 1000 Times, but December and Little Black Dress definitely get my vote for singles. For me, it's all about converting the non-fans. Even though it wouldn't make a good single, Satellite Call is the song to convert the haters. I got our dearly departed H00d to listen to Sara and he always made fun of her before I told him to listen to Satellite Call. It's also gotten a positive response from people when I posted it to my FB. Such a breathtaking, astonishing song.

The Prince/Martika vibe of Eden makes me love it all over again every time I hear it.

Yeah, I don't use that song and I am a HUGE fan of Prince. Doesn't seem to fit Sara, to me.

"Brave" climbs #17 to #8 in Australia this week, her first time in the top 10 (or top 100 at all) since "Love Song". (The exposure is because of some ad, but it's connected way more than I would've expected it to.)

She just performed "I Choose You" on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Falon. She sounded fantastic!

I just watched her performance, and I agree Julian, it was great.

(The exposure is because of some ad, but it's connected way more than I would've expected it to.) and this week "Brave" climbs to #3 in Australia, outpeaking "Love Song" :O I don't know how to feel about this.

Also, Sara posted on FB/Twitter that Brave has been certified Platinum in Australia. Aussies have great taste in musicians!
