“For those of us who are standing in love, it just affirms our motivation to try to be available to amplify voices and continue to educate and lift up and show up where we can.” “It’s so clear to me that the negative legislation and all of this hatred is the wrong side of history, and that things will be able to move in the way that I believe they’re meant to,” says Bareilles. “As always, I’m looking for ways to include the queer community in that process, especially in terms of performing for people.”īareilles also remains committed to being a visible ally, especially given the upcoming election and all the “pushback and hatred, especially trans kids.” “My next big project is my next record,” reveals Bareilles. “The stories we tell, we have to allow them to continue to evolve and include more people because the story only gets richer the more points of view it encompasses and the more perspectives it can hold.”Īs Bareilles embarks on her next creative chapter, she is committed to continuing to include and celebrate the LGBTQ+ experiences.
It was fun to watch the delight wash over my queer fans, especially my queer lady fans,” Bareilles shares. “Singing with Butterfly Boucher on my tour was one of my favorite moments of the entire night. And on her Amidst the Chaos tour, she sang “Bad Idea,” a steamy duet she wrote for the hit musical Waitress, with a female musician named Butterfly Boucher. In 2014, she helped a lesbian couple get engaged in the music video for her song, “I Choose You.” When she made the move to television and created and executive produced Little Voice, she featured queer female characters of color on the show. Comment below with your thoughts.Over the course of her career, Bareilles, who currently stars in the queer-inclusive musical comedy Girls5eva, has always made a point to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, no matter what creative medium she is working in. Head over to YouTube to listen to both of the tracks and see for yourself. What do you think of the recent controversy? Is Katy Perry’s new song Roar a rip off or is it an unlikely coincidence? Whoever Taylor likes, the fans will like. You should never underestimate the power of Taylor Swift fans. Teaming up with Swift to promote her single was a smart move for Bareilles. Or maybe it was nothing to do with Perry? Sara’s recent live performance of Brave with Taylor Swift on Monday night could have easily increased her popularity.
Sara’s song jumped from number 66 to 46, with 51,000 digital sales this week compared to last week’s 28K, which is an 80% increase. Roar opened at the number 2 spot on Billboard‘s Hot 100, and Yahoo’s Chart Watch notes that Brave got swept up in the song’s mad dash toward the top. When Roar dropped earlier this month, pop obsessives were quick to note the song’s similarity to Brave and this resulted in a swift climb up the charts for Miss Bareilles. The controversy has failed to hurt either artist though all is not lost for Sara Bareilles. Rihanna’s I Love The Way You Lie and Every Breath You Take by the Police are just a few examples of this. Jessie J’s Price tag, Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi. A large percentage of the songs on the charts for the last forty years have shared the same chord progression of G, C, Em and D. Now let’s cut her a little slack, it is extremely hard to find a distinctive Pop song these days. Perry started to receive complaints from fans that not only did her new tune Roar sound like Brave it also had a striking resemblance to the Annie classic Hard Knock Life in the beginning of the track, poor Katy. Perry has always been a fan of Bareilles and back in May of this year the Pop star tweeted There is no hiding the similarity, is this a bad move for Katy? The choruses are almost identical and the lyrical theme in both of the songs is empowerment. The astounding similarities I have recognized between the two songs are as follows, Roar has a 92 BPM tempo, Brave is only slightly slower with a BPM of 90, they are both in the key of Bb and the chord progression in both songs move from a Bb to a G Minor. There is no denying that the tunes are the same. However, there has been a controversy in the media that states that Katy Perry’s new chart topper Roar is a rip off of Bareilles recent tune Brave. I admire both Katy Perry and Sara Bareilles, they are both credible artists in the industry and have had worldwide success. People claim that most Pop songs sound the same and I agree a lot of the time they do but what happens when one artist releases a song and then four months later another song surfaces that is an exact replica?
