One was a gauzy dream of a ballad called 'Satellite Call,' and the other was the rhythmic Prince-lite workout 'Eden.' When I interviewed Bareilles a few weeks before the Grammys in 2014, she told me that 'Eden' was a song about Los Angeles, and how she had fallen out of love with the place-Bareilles grew up in Southern California but had recently decamped to New York City for the sake of her personal sanity. About half of it is the sort of singer-songwriter stuff that you'd expect, but the other half is made up of weird sonic experiments and inventive structures and melodies. I spent a lot of time with The Blessed Unrest and was pleasantly surprised by how dynamic it ended up being. In the walk-up to the Grammys in 2014, EW sent me to write about Bareilles as the year's big underdog. I was in the same boat-I had heard and appreciated 'Brave' and reported on Bareilles a bit when Katy Perry released the soundalike single 'Roar,' but I spent almost no time with the album as a whole. When Sara Bareilles' The Blessed Unrest was nominated for a Grammy for Album of the Year back in 2013, there was a collective, 'Huh?' from most of my colleagues.
