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 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.
Album Description
UK pressing of the 2007 debut album by the 22 year-old Californian singer/songwriter features one bonus track: 'Dreams Collide'.

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.

 COLBIE CAILLAT-COCO October 6, 2008
THIS CD IS GREAT. COLBIE HAS SUCH A EFFORTLESS AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE. EVERY SONG IS WONDERFUL. LOVE THIS CD.
Great CD September 7, 2008
Loved every song on the CD, everyone could or should be a hit. Great voice and great composition. Can't say enough good things about the CD, LOVED IT!!
 Why did I buy this? September 2, 2008
I love the song "Realize" and throughly enjoy "Bubbly." Everything else on this album sounds like everything else I've ever heard, not to mention each other, so save yourself some money and download these two if you like them and ignore the rest. It's really not worth the money.
Addictingly Refreshing For Sure! August 30, 2008
Even though I am sooo late in getting Coco, I am sooo glad to have it now. With my first listen and each listen since then, I have been loving the kaleidascope uniqueness found in each of these songs. Bubbly is the song that caught my attention first, hearing it on the radio, and then with hearing Realize, I knew I wanted to hear more of Colbie's magic. There isn't a bad song in the bunch. Colbie has such a fresh way of bringing these songs to life. Her vocals, lyrics, and acoustics are crisp clear, sentimentally alive and even sensual. Battle, Magic, Little Things, and Tailor Made, are wonderful gems, they show the depth of Colbie's talents. I think it is sooo neat that her Dad worked with her on these songs with her. It is very easy to hear the inspiration and right back at you gratitude, as these songs unfold over and over in my headphones. Sooo if you are reading this, and you don't have this cd yet, I say go ahead and order it, I am sure you will be caught up in Colbie's magic in no time at all. I always say Better Late than Never! I hope to hear more from Colbie! Take care, Nancy Holtz :)
Simply lovely August 27, 2008
Coco, by Colbie Caillat, has become my new favorite CD. It is loaded with sweet, personal and catchy tunes - straight from the heart. Once in the player, I keep it on repeat and can listen to it all day. Thank you Colbie. Keep up the great work and give us another one soon. Play on!
