Singer/songwriter Tamar Kaprelian is worlds apart from most of today's pop artists but she brings to mind another Sara Bareilles. On her debut album, Kaprelian's Sinner or a Saint is as classy as they come and is refreshing to see. She soars best on simple ballads with beautiful melodies and lyrics such as The Other Side (Aleatory) and Transcend, my favourite cuts from the album. Surprisingly, working with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder didn't give her a big ballad, instead, it gave her the sprightly title track which, to be honest, feels rather different from the entire record so it's interesting to see why it was chosen as the title. Other stunners from the album include the album's radio-friendly lead single New Day which is also racking up plays on my iTunes.

Overall, Sinner or a Saint is a pretty record and I'm keeping my eye on Tamar to see how far she'll go. Nevertheless, I love her record and I think it's easy to relate to.

New Artist: Tamar Kaprelian

I've been meaning to post this new artist I've been into lately called Tamar Kaprelian. Tamar first found fame when she won a contest held by OneRepublic on YouTube when the band requested YouTubers to submit their covers of Apologize and Tamar won. OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder brought her to the attention of Interscope Records and she quickly inked a deal with the record label. Since then, the Armenian American singer-songwriter started work on her debut record Sinner or a Saint with help from some of the boys from OneRepublic. In fact, Ryan Tedder helped to co-write Sinner or a Saint, which I presume will be the next single following New Day. After listening to her whole album, I will say that it's a classy debut and she's pretty much like Sara Bareilles. Nevertheless, be sure to check out her debut album and get her debut single below.
