“I Choose You” sounds so tinny and overworked, like a twee “Soak Up the Sun,” or a Regina Spektor song boiled down to 15-second jingle. Ultimately, it’s the production that fails her, every time. And at least it’s a step up from “Brave” (which may have very well been improved by Katy Perry’s “ Roar“). It’s still better than most commercial-filler songs her voice is still warm, bright, and friendly.
This song is an unfortunate single when compared to that early promise of potential.
She was following a model, but was still spontaneous and spunky, like a polished Regina Spektor, or a more jazz-influenced Sheryl Crow. Gowns: Back in high school, I loved Sara Bareilles’ debut, “Careful Confessions.” I liked her for her winks - sure, she was making generic coffeehouse rock, but she had a sparkle.
