Who knew Sara Bareilles could move so well? In the video for her new single, “Gonna Get Over You” off her album Kaleidoscope Heart, Bareilles unleashes her inner dancing queen.
In a leather jacket and a classic car that screams ‘Greased Lightning‘, the Sing-Off judge shimmies around a grocery store, and then proceeds to have a highly choreographed dance-off with her fellow West Side Story wannabes.Watch your back, Beyoncé!
The coolest part? Bareilles’ friend Jonah Hill — maybe you’ve heard of him – marks his directing debut with this clip. Watch it below:
I think Hill shows some serious promise, weaving between tight shots of a fantastic-looking Bareilles and wider shots of all the dancers cutting loose in the store. And it’s especially fun to watch the sometimes-reserved Bareilles rock out. Here’s hoping there’s more where that came from on her Kaleidoscope Heart.
Music Mix-ers: What do you all think of a dancing Bareilles? Who else loves this upbeat, catchy tune? And should Jonah Hill keep directing, or should he stick to his day job?

Video’s cute and fun, as is the song, but I don’t see how the action of the video matches the lyrics of the song. And she sure seems upbeat for someone trying to get over someone else…
I like here a lot and this is the best i’ve seen her look and the video is fun but don’t care for the song much, she has better choices on the album.
This singer has more of a grasp on the history and theory of music than most female singers today. She knows her stuff. I respect that she learned music before deciding to dance.
It/s nice in many ways. Good for all involved here. But, Erin… West Side Story comparison. Tsk, tsk. That gang was Puerto Rican, this here is clearly East L.A. and very Mexican.
I hope this is a hit for Bareilles, “Uncharted” had a great star-studded video, and the song pretty much ‘uncharted’. Sara has loads of talent, she’s super sweet from when I’ve met her, and deserves more hits in her repetoire. Thew new duet version featuring Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic works, and returns the favor of when she dueted on their “Come Home” from the band’s debut album.
