Synopsis

Album Description
Colbie Caillat's dusky vocals and laid back rhythms have earned her critical acclaim and 2 million albums sales since the release of her debut album COCO last July. The story of Caillat's myspace rise is well known by now; the power of the site and her legion of fans (Over 25 million!) netted her a record deal, huge sales, a Top 5 album debut and three hit singles (so far) with the ubiquitous "Bubbly", the follow-up "Realize" and the current single "The Little Things". "Bubbly" and "Realize" were both Top 5 hits at Top 40 and Hot AC and "Little Things" is currently Top 20 at Hot AC and climbing quickly. This deluxe edition includes 7 additional tracks. Featuring new, live, alternate mixes and even a few cover versions (Tell Him - Lauryn Hill, Turn Down Your Lights - Bob Marley and Brand New Me - Dusty Springfield). The Deluxe Edition will be packaged in an 8 panel digipak that will also include an 8 page color booklet. The booklet is filled with personal photos, taken over the past year, of Colbie, her friends, family and band.

Colbie is a Sweetheart..............
Robert C. Hufford | Hopewell, VA USA | 11/13/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"...but I have to admit to some mixed feelings. Don't get me wrong; it's a great album, and one that makes us feel good...some singers uplift, some depress, and some merely inspire respect...any of those can get five stars, but I prefer to be happy, and Colbie can always supply that. She makes us feel good even when she has to touch feel bad subjects like "Midnight Bottle". What's more, she not only has a sexy voice, but you can actually understand the lyrics...You Go, Girl!!



As to specifics...the first 12 cuts need no comment...we've heard them for the past year...they've built Colbie's fan following, and they're great. The final 8 tracks give us some welcome new material, and, though she didn't write it all herself, it has a bit more of a personal touch, with Colbie's heart a bit more exposed [though nothing even approaching Carly Simon's heart-on sleeve]. Listen to #13 "Tell Him" and the following "Brand New Me"--she's opening herself just a bit, and her music rocks [just a touch] harder than the previous offering. "Somethin' Special", made for the Olympics, is indeed. Bob Marley's "Turn Your Lights Down Low" is a live performance, and it quite well done..I don't care for much of Marley's work, but I like this. The record closes with alternative versions of "Magic" and the BIG HIT "Bubbly"...I really like what she did with "Magic", but will confess to a preference for the original on "Bubbly". "Tell Him", and the Marley number are listed as "live", but no obtrusive audience noise. Thank you.



Colbie is pretty girl with a fine voice; she's still a work in progress, still spreading her wings ["Hoy Me Voy" and "Turn..."]. She should only get better. Beautifully presented album...great pictures...great sound and instrumental support. Five Stars. OK. What's the gripe I mentioned above? Premium price record. Twenty cuts. Twelve of them every one of her fans have had for a year. Two are remixes. That leaves us essentially paying for six cuts...great songs they are, But. I don't mind, but I can see how somebody else might.



Colbie, I love you. You're wonderful. "Coco" is a fine album. Twice. Please give us a whole recording of new material."
