Sara Bareilles has finally premiered the music video for her inspiring hit single, "Brave," the lead offering from the super talented and humble American singer-songwriter's upcoming fourth studio album, "The Blessed Unrest," due in stores July 16 via Epic. The record was inspired by her own life and addressed some of the demons she was battling. "I have never felt more open and more raw in my entire life," said 33-year-old talented entertainer.
The bubbly jam, "Brave" lends advice to someone struggling to come out with an important confession. Though anyone could relate, Bareilles had a particular audience in mind. Writing the song with Fun. lead guitarist Jack Antonoff, Bareilles says she was inspired by a close friend who was having trouble coming out about being gay. "There is so much honor and integrity and beauty in being able to be who you are and it's important to be brave, because by doing that, you give others permission to do the same," she explained about her motivations. There's a really good energy about the song is extremely upbeat, rhythmic, fun, catchy and has a big singalong hook and an inspirational be-your-best-self message to it.
Set to a cheeky, piano-driven pop track, "Brave" marks the beginning of a new sound for Bareilles. As opposed to her previous subdued, organically slow ballads, "Brave" is Bareilles' most mainstream, pop radio-friendly effort to date. There's a lot more to this jam than Bareilles' crystal-clear delivery and some expertly polished production. The lyrics were partially inspired by a close friend of hers who struggled with coming out. So not only is Bareilles an ace musician, but she's also an amazing friend who writes personalized and empowering anthems for her pals to help them overcome life obstacles.
"I want to see you be brave!" sings Bareilles and sometimes, courage manifests itself in the form of shameless, altogether goofy dance moves. Bareilles has teamed up with actress Rashida Jones who marks the directorial debut for the video, which shows Bareilles belting out the uplifting lyrics of her new tune, while a group of random folks bust a move in Bareilles' words 'acting like a weirdo' at diverse locations in Los Angeles, such as, libraries, gyms and shopping malls. Soon enough, the other dancers join the polka-dot-clad Bareilles and flaunt some inspired choreography, simply not caring about what others may think and smiles are induced throughout.
