Sara Bareilles spoke with PopEater about her new album ‘Kaleidoscope Heart’, which is out next Tuesday (September 7) on Epic Records. “The writing process was definitely different in the sense that I was thinking about the fact that I would be playing these songs for an audience, and after three years of touring, you realize maybe what you’re missing as a performer,” Sara explained. “I was consciously trying to write songs that were a little more upbeat so I would have a more balanced set. Because also they’d be more fun to play and move your booty to a little bit, so I definitely made an effort to go in that direction this time around.” Video of the comments at AOL have since been removed.

Sara Bareilles checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (August 23), discussing how Whole Foods is featuring ‘Hold My Heart’ on their blog and will be selling Sara’s ‘Kaleidoscope Heart’ at their stores when it is released on September 7th. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Whole Lotta Whole Foods

I am so happy to say that one of my favorite places on earth, Whole Foods, is going to feature a new song from my record on their blog….this is double rad, because not only am I happy to share more new music, but I kind of am obsessed with Whole Foods anyway. I am definitely someone to tries to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and spending so much time away from home while touring can make that hard. That’s why when I see a Whole Foods while we’re on the road, my heart sings a a little song and I feel like I found water after walking in the desert for weeks. Oddly enough, gas stations are overrated as great places to eat. :)

I love that Whole Foods features local farmers’ goods in many of their stores as well. It makes it so easy to support the local community while filling my belly with the best of what’s around. I am always happy to be able to connect with the amazing places we see as we travel and I can think of nothing better than doing that through their food.

Yay Whole Foods.
