Sara Bareilles Has Fans 'Locked In' With 'Thrilling' News: 'Coming Soon'
Sara Bareilles has a little surprise up her sleeve, and her loyal listeners can't wait to hear what she's been working on.
The "Saint Honesty" songstress took to TikTok recently with a vague teaser about what she's been working on, directing her followers to her website to sign up for more information as soon as it's available.
In the clip, the Grammy-winning, Tony-nominated singer-songwriter danced into the frame on a sunny, blue-skied day, smiling brightly as she sang, "Something's coming soon, something's coming soon, something that I made, something just for you." She held a folded piece of paper in her hand with quite a bit of typed print on it, but it was impossible to make out anything it said in the video.
After signing up for her mailing list, another video appears on her website, which she describes as a "boilerplate teaser video" to announce that "finally, after many years, [she is] making art again."
"All kinds of things" are coming up, according to the extended video, including a new record and a new tour. "One of the things is big," she promised. "And it's coming soon...stay tuned!"

The news couldn't have come at a better time for many of her fans, who felt a new spring in their step over the prospect of new songs from the singer.
"I needed this today. 😍," one wrote, while others agreed that the news meant "LIFE IS WORTH LIVINGGGGGGG."
"New Sara music would heal me," another added.
"I...need it yesterday," someone else one-upped the other commenter, adding that they "might die of anticipation."
"SARA I CANNOT WAIT," fans continued to exclaim, with many noting, "I am SO READY," and, "This is THRILLING!!!!🥰🥰😊🥰😊🥰🥰🥰."
"It's been 84 years," one fan marveled, posting a gif from Titanic, while someone else joked, "sara bareilles summer starting soon."
"we are locked in sara let's go!" one spoke for everyone else.
So locked in, in fact, that we weren't the only ones "trying to zoom in to read what's on the paper just in case it's a hint," but for now, all there is to do is wait.
It's been more than seven years since Bareilles' last studio album, Amidst the Chaos, so, naturally, fans of the performer have been starting to feel a little antsy to hear more from her.
Bareilles, who composed the music and lyrics for Waitress the Musical, is also working on the music for a new production based on Meg Wolitzer's bestselling novel The Interestings, which fans are also eagerly awaiting to hear more about. As of now, it's set to begin playing at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in Berkeley, Calif. on Jan. 31, 2027.
