Product Description
From Amazon.com
Even without MySpace, singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat is sure to have found an audience, but her oft-accessed page accelerated the process, mostly on the strength of the effervescent "Bubbly." On her first full-length album, the California native conjures up clear skies and warm breezes. Not that the lyrics revolve around her stomping grounds of Malibu and Ventura County, but her mellow melodies sound like products of those places (co-writer Jason Reeves' ukulele playing reinforces the beach music impression). Instead, Caillat sings about love in all its guises, as on "Capri," a tribute to a mother-to-be. The daughter of audio engineer Ken Caillat (Fleetwood Mac's Rumours), who provides production assistance, Colbie combines acoustic pop, light jazz, and blue-eyed soul on Coco. Despite her young age--22 at the time of its release--the record seems likely to attract an older audience, although her sunny singing manages to sound centered and spirited at the same time. Coco doesn't offer anything startlingly new, but its relaxing vibe is hard to resist. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Album Description
UK pressing of the 2007 debut album by the 22 year-old Californian singer/songwriter features one bonus track: 'Dreams Collide'. Until she was signed by Jack Johnson, Caillat was he number one unsigned artist on Myspace for four successive months, garnering an almost unbelievable 10 million plays. From the sunny, upbeat promise of songs such as 'Bubbly' and 'Oxygen' to the gentle, semi-R&B groove of 'The Little Things' and the lilting reggae of 'Tied Down', Coco is one of those classic albums that simply makes you feel glad to be alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This CD makes my ears happy,
By Mrs. Mustard (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coco (Audio CD)
I am always on the lookout for new artists, new sounds. I read Lefsetz Letter (http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/) and found an entry about this new song, Bubbly. GO GET IT! the letter implored. This is a HIT!I searched it on iTunes and found it to be by a new artist, Colbie Caillat. I listened to it, then listened to the rest of the tracks on her new album, Coco, and immediately clicked the BUY NOW button. Ive found a new treasure. I cannot get enough of the entire album. Its always a bonus when you buy a CD and can listen to the whole thing without skipping through those annoying token ballads, or poppy crap-0 tunes. Even my husband is smittin with it, and its not just because she has a pretty face! Its not often that we agree on musical tastes (he prefers the loud screeching nails-on-a-chalkboard of death metal and the like), so you know its gotta be good if we can both agree to listen to it every day since I bought it. A little background: Colbie Caillat got her start on myspace (myspace.com/colbiecaillat), of all places, and accumulated a huge fan base there before being signed to a label. There are entire tracks there that you can listen to or download for free, so I would strongly suggest you check it out. Youll thank me later.

Perfect Summertime Music!,

This review is from: Coco (Audio CD)
I admit that I never heard of Colbie Caillat until last week, when I noticed that her debut album had entered Billboard's Top 200 chart at Number 5. Then I decided to check out this new singer-songwriter from California. I am pleased to report that I came away from the experience suitably impressed! Colbie's music has a laid-back, almost tropical feel that actually sounds a bit Hawaiian at times. Perhaps the reviewer at the allmusic.com web site put it best: "a lighter, brighter spin on Norah Jones that sounds like an ideal soundtrack to a few hours in a cozy coffeehouse..."" And I would expect that we will be hearing "Coco" at Starbucks locations around the world in very short order!
