American singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles scored her first number one hit on the Billboard charts last year with ``Love Song.'' ``Little Voice,'' her debut album on a major label, shows that Bareilles has anything but a small voice. She played the piano and wrote all the songs on the album.
What makes the Little Voice special edition is an extra disc of ``stripped down" versions of favorites such as ``Bottle It Up,'' ``Gravity'' and ``In Your Eyes.'' With just a piano and her voice, Bareilles sings with heartfelt emotion that will enchant listeners.
