The Grammy-nominated performer - best known for the 2007 hit "Love Song" - is currently on a tour with OneRepublic that wraps Friday in Houston. "I had a good friend who was struggling with coming out as an adult, so this is sort of my message to that person," she said. It's the first single from Bareilles' third album, "The Blessed Unrest," released in July. "I don't promote drama in my life and competition and stuff like that." "To be totally honest, I was sort of disappointed in how aggressive fans were being about it," she said. The 33-year-old singer-songwriter said she's upset with some of the fans, though. I look at it as two female artists who are releasing a message of empowerment."
We are friends and she and I spoke about it. I wasn't the one having any problems with it," she said. "I don't feel like anything was taken from me artistically. 31.īareilles said she and Perry are good friends and that they spoke when the comparisons were made. "Brave" has reached gold status and so far has peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and Bareilles' song shot to the Top 40 after the Internet drama. Music fans caused a stir when Perry released "Roar" last month, claiming she stole the song's melody from Bareilles' "Brave," released in April. "I was like, 'You guys want to go get (mad) about something and buy my music, that's great.'" I was like, 'Great,'" Bareilles said in an interview Tuesday. Sara Bareilles says although she doesn't think Katy Perry's "Roar" steals from her song "Brave," she's enjoying her tune's newfound success because of the chatter.
