Release and reception Professional ratings Review scores He added that these changing patterns were conveyed with the piano and Church's voice. To convey "the beauty of mathematics", Horner decided to use the idea of a kaleidoscope, as its "patterns are always changing, and things move very quickly, but in moving so quickly, they create other patterns that move very slowly underneath". Horner desired to feature vocals reminiscent of being midway between a girl and woman, and wrote the score specifically for 15-year-old Welsh singer Charlotte Church. Music critics felt that the musical score fit the film well, but believed it to be similar to several of Horner's previous films.Ĭomposer James Horner was a frequent collaborator with Ron Howard, the director of A Beautiful Mind. The album garnered nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and the Academy Award for Best Original Score. The original score and songs were composed and conducted by James Horner. Sara proves some female vocalists are worth their salt, and you definitely should get your hands on this.A Beautiful Mind is the original soundtrack album, on the Decca Records label, of the 2001 film A Beautiful Mind starring Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly (who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as "Alicia Nash"), Christopher Plummer and Paul Bettany.
This is an artist who clearly does this for the music, as it shows in the way she writes, plays and performs throughout this album. I think the most impressive thing is Sara manages to be poppy and relevant without coming off as pretentious and only seeking radio play. If you let this one slip by you'll be missing out on not only the best pop album of the year, but one of the best albums of 2010 in general. Each song has its own distinct feel to it, and all the songs are truly memorable. Sara doesn't adhere to one single formula through the entire 50 minutes.

The album is so full of variety, something that I find very refreshing with ANY music these days. "King of Anything" follows, and is the track I consider to be the best overall on the album, being one of the more up-beat numbers, it is definitely my favorite pop song of the year so far. Sara changes gears once we get to "Hold My Heart" which is the album's first full-on ballad, reminiscent of some of Sarah McLachan's best work.
The pace changes immediately with "Uncharted" which is a pure piano-driven pop song that at this point is one of the top 3 tracks on the record for me. The album starts with a mellow intro with the title track, where Sara really shows off her vocal abilities in a form that is so pure and raw it literally gave me chills the first time I listened to it. It's absolutely infectious from beginning to end, I just can't stop listening to it. Let me point out that I'm way out of my element writing a review for a pop record, much less even thoroughly enjoying a pop record to the extent that I do with this. Granted, it's only been out for a couple of days, but there were only a few ratings for this record at the time I began to write this review. Just when I think 2010 can't get any better, Sara Bareilles releases an album that has climbed so far up my favorite albums of the year chart that I can't believe it hasn't received any attention at all yet. Review Summary: Sara proves some female vocalists are worth their salt.
