Sara Bareilles — “Uncharted” (from Kaleidoscope Heart) — Uncharted - Kaleidoscope Heart

Bareilles follows up her Grammy-nominated radio smash
“King of Anything” with this pleasant, harmlessly charming little piffle whose surprisingly sweet video — which features the likes of Josh Groban, Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles (an absolute hoot rockin’ out in her jammies), Ben Folds, Cary Brothers, and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine lip-syncing this tune’s lyrics — is an utter, unexpected delight. A few more smartly-played moves like this, and I’m really gonna have to start liking this girl a lot more. (Said video can be seen in its entirety below, and if you’re up for a little extra credit reading, my buddy Blake recently chatted with Sara and has filed this dispatch.)

    This is very cute, and I recognize at least half the people! Y’all should be proud of me.

    I’m not gonna write you a love song, just a “thank you” message for the shout out. 🙂 Sara and I only had a ten-minute window, but we barreled through the best we could.

    Yes, I’ve done several of those ten minute slivers for Brandon’s Buzz and it can be maddening, because you can’t really have a natural conversation and you’re constantly watching the clock.
