Sara Bareilles: 'King of Anything' Song Premiere

By Amber James Posted May 10th 2010 10:00AM

Exclusive: Sara Bareilles proved she won't write a 'Love Song' for just anyone, and now she's back with another angst-ridden message about love. In 'King of Anything,' the first single off her forthcoming sophomore album, Bareilles vents her frustration about unsolicited love advice in a peppy, pop song.

"'King of Anything' is sort of a 'f**k you' song," jokes Bareilles. "I've had more unsolicited advice on my life than I care to mention, and this was how I dealt with it. It felt empowering to turn that frustration into music, especially a song that doesn't even sound angry. That's sort of what 'Love Song' was as well. Apparently, I don't get over things very quickly."

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Sara Bareilles' 'King of Anything':

Bareilles wrote and recorded 'King Of Anything' in Los Angeles. The pop track, produced by Neal Avron, hits airwaves May 10 and will kick off the official countdown to the as-yet untitled album's September release.

Bareilles' debut album, 'Little Voice,' received two Grammy nominations for her triple platinum-selling hit single, 'Love Song.'

Love this song and I can't wait for a new CD. She has an amazing voice and I've heard her perform live, she sounds even better in person which is amazing considering how fantastic she sounds in the recording.

I hope the record won't be like this track. Don't go this way, Sara...

i don't think this song is going to fare well on radio. Sara is pretty talented but this song isnt very radio friendly. Its not that good either

Saras music is okay but i just dont think she hit it outta the park with this one. I think radio rotation will dwindle pretty fast. Its not a very good song

Yes, well worth the wait! It's crazy how you can write lyrics (and beautiful music) about how I have felt, but I couldn't even put into WORDS, let alone a song. I can always feel your music.
