Product Description:
Singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat is one of the most celebrated artists to emerge from the growing talent pool of digitally-savvy self-launched artists, whose rise to prominence as the #1 unsigned artist on the popular myspace site has been largely due to her refreshing sense of understatement.
With no marketing push and only the power of the music behind her, Caillat became a sensation on the social networking site. Rolling Stone highlighted her as one of the top female artists on myspace. Ultimately, her number of friends swelled to more than 100,000. Her profile has been visited over 3 million times, and she has more than l0 million plays. She's currently averaging 50,000 + a day.
The songs on Caillat's debut album COCO mirror the Malibu-born Caillat's low-key, refreshing style. Armed with her acoustic guitar and her dusky vocals, she evokes the same gentle, yet spirited style of her musical influences John Mayer, Bob Marley, Lauryn Hill and The Weepies. The laid-back tempo of Hawaii, where she spent twice annual family vacations, is echoed in the music.
"She's the real thing," stated Monte Lipman, President of Universal Republic Records. "From her unique songwriting skills to her powerful but understated presence, Colbie has connected to millions of music lovers simply through the power of her music.

2009-03-14Coco by Colbie Caillat shows off her talents very nicely. Colbie sings very well and she plays acoustic guitar wonderfully. In addition, her songwriting skills enhance the numbers we get on this CD which is also her first full length album. Colbie has what it takes to be quite well respected and that's grand. The quality of the sound is excellent and that artwork is beautifully done.
"Oxygen" starts the CD with a reflective ballad; and Colbie sings this like the pro she truly is! "Oxygen" has a great melody; it's very pretty and memorable at once. It's even quite catchy and "Oxygen" makes an auspicious start to this song set. "The Little Things" continues the somewhat laid-back flavor that "Oxygen" has; "The Little Things" has great percussion and I really like the way Colbie sings this with all her heart and soul. The backup vocals enhance the ballad even further; I like the way they harmonize faultlessly. In addition, ""One Fine Wire" uses clever key modulations to make this a terrific track; Colbie sings this one up right and "One Fine Wire" is clearly a major highlight of this album. I love it!
"Bubbly" got airplay and this tune deserves every bit of the recognition it got at least in my regional radio stations. "Bubbly" stuns me with its beauty and it proves that Colbie Caillat is truly a force to be reckoned with. The percussion helps the melody along and that guitar work is simply wonderful. Colbie sings this with her heart on her sleeve and I could never tire of hearing Colbie sing "Bubbly."
"Midnight Bottle," a song about someone trying to make themselves feel better by having a drink or two, has some interesting subtle tempo changes but Colbie never falters; she handles this brilliantly. "Midnight Bottle" features Colbie Caillat squarely front and center--right where she belongs! I really like "Midnight Bottle;" and listen for "Battle." "Battle" has excellent keyboard work and the lush musical arrangement is perfect without ever drowning out Colbie's vocals-she's right there in the spotlight. "Battle" is a poignant song about getting out of a bad relationship; and it packs quite a punch.
"Magic" has a somewhat laid-back, soulful flavor; and Colbie handles this well. "Magic" is a tender love song that showcases Colbie's talents and it's another major highlight of this CD. "Tied Down" has a great musical arrangement that sounds something like reggae mixed with modern R&B/soul for a great effect; and the album closes with Colbie Caillat performing "Capri." "Capri" is a tender ballad that Colbie performs with great sensitivity; and I'm very impressed.
Colbie Caillat's talents as a songwriter, an acoustic guitar player and especially as a chanteuse are amply displayed on this album. It's a great find for Colbie's fans--she's going to be a force to be reckoned with if she isn't there already! People who enjoy adult contemporary music in general will also want this CD. I highly recommend this album.
