Sara Bareilles Covers "Single Ladies" for Billboard!
The super talented Sara Bareilles puts her own spin on Beyonce's smash hit "Single Ladies" on the latest series of Billboard's Mashup Mondays. I've seen so many covers of this song, some pretty good and others average. Sara's version has to be definitely one of the best. Loved the arrangement they did, and Ms Bareilles' vocals were just stunning. She sang "Singles Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" beautifully and put such passion/emotion on the performance. Beyonce would be proud! Read Sara's commentary on the cover below.
"If I'm gonna do a cover of a song, I want to completely reinterpret it." "It would be hard to imagine it as sort of a doo-wop-y, voice-and-piano kind of song, so I started fooling around with that on the piano, and it ended up being something super-fun"
Sara Bareilles will release her new studio album entitled "Kaleidoscope Heart" on September 7th. The CD is preceded by the lead single, "King Of Anything" released back in June and that peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and entered the Top 30 on the US iTunes.
