One hell of a voice (click here to hear it). While we admit to liking schmaltz with our trance music binges, Sara is a great new raw talent that we heard for the first time last week...
While not as original or edgy or interesting (yet) as those above, her voice is remarkable, full of nuance and her energy is infectious. Little Voice is perfect for simply putting a smile on your face and feelin' good again. We wish Sara luck and hope to hear much more of her in the future.

Been listening to Sara B pretty faithfully for the last several years—since she was just getting started and still singing a cappella in college. It's been awesome watching her gain popularity and even more chops.
We were lucky enough to see her open up for Maroon 5 this past October, and she's just a revelation live. Great enough for us to plunk down the money for her album at the show (she was gracious and very genuine, and it was a pleasure to meet her). Little Voice has been on a near-constant rotation since. What a find.
I'm hooked. What a beautiful voice...
Found Little Voice this summer after she had one of those free downloads on iTunes. Loved it! Saw her at Williamsburg Music Hall a few weeks ago and she put on a great show . . .
The most awesome Lucy Woodward opened up for Sara. Check her out too - http://www.lucywoodward.com/
