I adore her to pieces. I love her entire discography. Such an underrated singer and her lyrics are so clever and fresh. I wish people knew her outside of Love Song and the Katy Perry controversy because she really does have some great albums.
I'm an acquaintance/friend with Sara's current keyboardist. It's cool seeing all of the updates of Sara's stops on FB through her eyes, like Ellen, which they were at today.
all of her work especially The Blessed Unrest is so amazing
