Sarah Blacker is a singer-songwriter to be reckoned with and Perfectly Imperfect proves the point. Capturing smiles with happy guitar and ukulele licks, her voice and creative use of vocal harmonies show she is a little closer to perfect than imperfect.

About this album
Perfectly Imperfect is a 6-song album from Sarah Blacker, released in 2013. It's folk and folk pop, happy, positive and hopeful, built on cajon, shaker and acoustic guitar. The songs run 87 to 132 BPM, in keys like B major, Db major and C major, and they're all vocal tracks. It's a natural fit for commercials, film and documentary work, romantic comedy and arthouse. Every song comes with an instrumental, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
Every track is cleared and licensed through ITGM, with the rights handled for you. See how it works on our music licensing page, or search the full catalog by mood, reference track or video at /music.
