Sara Bareilles - Love Song

Sara Bareilles grew up in the city of Eureka in northern California where she began playing the piano at the age of 6. After graduating from Eureka High, she moved to Los Angeles to attend UCLA, where she studied communications and began to work on her songwriting and performing. She released several indie demo CDs before signing with Epic in 2005 and recording Little Voice. Bareilles first came to prominence when "Love Song" was featured as the free single of the week on iTunes between June 19th and 26th June 2007. People then began to check out Little Voice, which became the most downloaded album on the iTunes store between July 8th and 17th. Consequently Sara Bareilles' music went from having a relatively small following to national exposure within a very short space of time. In an interview with Songwriter Universe, Bareilles commented on the popularity of the song: "Honestly, I don't know what it is about 'Love Song' that's catching on with everyone. I think it's just a cool and sassy uptempo tune and people are ready for a female artist in that range."
