Rashida Jones | Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Check out this behind the scenes look at the making of Sara Bareilles‘ music video for her new single “Brave”!

The video, which will be released on Tuesday (May 14) was directed by Parks and Recreation star Rashida Jones and Sara had some hilarious words to say about working with her.

“I can’t say I had fun working with Rashida,” Sara jokingly said. “Here’s the thing about working with Rashida. When you’ve plucked someone out of oblivion like I’ve done for her, to give her this opportunity to just sort of step slowly into the realm of entertainment, I would’ve liked to see her raise the bar a bit. But, you know, she’s pleasant. What I wanted from her was ambition and drive, and I didn’t get that.”

Obviously, if you know Sara‘s humor at all, you know that she is absolutely joking!

“I’m teasing, she’s been a f–king dream and I’m trying not to Single White Female, because I basically want to be her best friend,” Sara said.

Sara Bareilles and Rashida Jones sit in their chairs in this behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming music video for Sara‘s new single “Brave”.

The song is off of the 33-year-old singer’s upcoming album The Blessed Unrest, due out in stores on July 16.

Rashida directed the video for “Brave,” which was shot in New York City last month.

“Girl. You knocked it outta the park. Laughing and laughing watching our masterpiece. @iamrashidajones #BRAVE,” Sara tweeted earlier this month after seeing the finished product.
