Sara Bareilles Set To Release First Single, "King of Anything" Off Forthcoming New Album
Epic Records recording artist, Sara Bareilles is pleased to announce the release of, "King Of Anything" the highly anticipated first single off her forthcoming sophomore album.
"King Of Anything" which Sara wrote, was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by the renowned Neal Avron. The immensely addictive and charismatic pop driven track featuring Sara's extraordinary vocal prowess is set to hit airwaves May 10 and will kick off the official countdown to the untitled album's September release.
"'King of Anything' is sort of a 'f*ck you' song," jokes Sara Bareilles. "I've had more unsolicited advice on my life than I care to mention, and this was how I dealt with it. It felt empowering to turn that frustration into music, especially a song that doesn't even sound angry. That's sort of what "Love Song" was as well. Apparently, I don't get over things very quickly."
The single's release marks the first taste of new material following the massive success of Sara's debut album, Little Voice from which Sara received two Grammy nominations for her triple platinum selling hit single, "Love Song." The track enjoyed an astonishing 13 weeks in the Top 10 at pop radio, while the album has sold over 1 million copies worldwide, won accolades from press critics at places like Rolling Stone and the New York Times, and catapulted Sara to become one of the most interesting and promising new artists of 2009.

Oh oh oh oh --these are done quite a few times--
Keep drinking coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions man
We're all entitled to
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast
I hate it to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to say...
[CHORUS]Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare
Tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything[/CHORUS]
Ooooooh
You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
And ride off into your
Delusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down
Just not the listening
[CHORUS]Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare
Tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything[/CHORUS]
All my life
I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt
And hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide
[CHORUS]Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare
Tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything[/CHORUS]
[CHORUS]Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare
Tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything[/CHORUS] --Yes, a second time--
Let me hold your crown babe
Oh oh, ooooo
[ADLIBS]
I did this as best I could, but it's not perfect. I'm missing a couple of "ohs" and adlibs.

OMG! My heart totally skipped a beat when I read this thread title lol. "Little Voice" is one of my favorite albums... ever. There's literally like, one song I skip. Two at the most. It is weird that they're pushing it so early. Can't say I'm gonna complain about hearing her new song in a matter of days, though.  |

It's such a good pop album, with jazz/soul undertones. I hope she builds upon the soul/jazz side on this new album, rather than just standard pop. September is so far away! i don't know how I'mma be able to wait that long for the album This is killing me, I need to hear the single NOW! |

'Love Song' was a hit in 2007, right? So good to hear from this girl again, but why the long wait? Hope this is as awesome as 'Love Song' was!

FINALLY! She's one of my favorites! Love her voice, her songwriting and her guts! I hope this is at a Love Song catchy-level, loved the whole debut album, but she could use another good pop hit |

Maybe they're expecting a really slow climb on pop.

To be honest, I'm not sure it'll do anything on pop. I like the song a lot, but it's not as accessible as LS or even Buble's HMYY is. I hope it takes off though.

Wonder if it's another frustration-to-the-label-politics song, just as Love Song was...

I can't say where I heard it (sounds shady, I know), but those ARE the lyrics as I heard them. If you don't believe me, you will when the lyrics match the song. It's a good song though, so you guys will enjoy it.

It's a good song though, so you guys will enjoy it. Can you tell what does it sound like? The beginning "oh oh ohs" remind me of Michael Buble's HMYY, but once the lyrics kick in it sounds different. Starting in the first chorus there is a handclap beat in the background. The handclaps are mostly only in the chorus. There are horns in this song. The chorus is catchy, but this feels kind of retro, I don't know how to describe it. The bridge is a bit slower and it builds up but the note at the end of the bridge isn't a big one. It's more like Sara just singing the "deciiiiiiiiiide" kind of quietly while the music quiets down. Yeah, I hope that's good. |
