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:
Singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat is one of the most celebratedartists to emerge from the growing talent pool of digitally-savvyself-launched artists, whose rise to prominence as the #1 unsigned artiston the popular myspace site has been largely due to her refreshing sense ofunderstatement.

The songs on Caillat's debut album COCO mirror the Malibu-born Caillat'slow-key, refreshing style. Armed with her acoustic guitar and her duskyvocals, she evokes the samegentle, yet spirited style of her musical influences John Mayer, BobMarley, Lauryn Hill and The Weepies. The laid-back tempo of Hawaii, whereshe spent twice annual familyvacations, is echoed in the music.
"She's the real thing," stated Monte Lipman, President of UniversalRepublic Records."From her unique songwriting skills to her powerful butunderstated presence, Colbie hasconnected to millions of music lovers simply through the power of hermusic.
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.
