Audio Mixers: Mikal Blue; Ken Caillat. Liner Note Author: Coco. Photographers: Colbie Caillat; Jason Reeves; Meredith Ward; Andrew Southam. On her 2007 debut, COCO, Los Angeles, California-based singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat offers up a charming set of R&B-tinged acoustic pop. Aided by her father, veteran producer Ken Caillat (Fleetwood Mac), as well as multi-instrumentalist/producer Mikal Blue and vocalist/guitarist Jason Reeves, Caillat comes across as a female counterpart to fellow laid-back West Coast performer Jack Johnson, particularly on the light, easy-going number "Bubbly." Sweetness rules on Colbie Caillat's debut, Coco, which is perhaps only appropriate for an album bearing that name. The record doesn't play like a toasty mug of chocolate on a winter's day, though; it's a sugary lemonade on a breezy summer afternoon. It's light and comforting, a familiar blend of sunny pop and singer/songwriter tropes that flirt with cliché but never sound hackneyed -- a lighter, brighter spin on Norah Jones that sounds like an ideal soundtrack to a few hours in a cozy coffeehouse or a montage on Grey's Anatomy, whatever comes first. If that gives the impression that Caillat is a little calculated -- and if her music-biz heritage (her dad co-produced Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Tusk) gives the sense that she may have had a silver spoon, and if her celebrated MySpace popularity is also initially suspect -- then as an album Coco shows no crassness or coldness: it flows easily and, yes, sweetly, filled with gently ingratiating melodies and delivered with warmth and a casual charisma that proves to be quite endearing by the end of the record. Caillat doesn't attempt anything approaching a major statement -- the album is filled with songs about love and life -- but that's her appeal: she sings about simple, everyday things in an unassuming manner, letting her melodies and girl-next-door charm carry the day, and they do so winningly on this nicely mellow debut. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Coco: Summer Sessions Music | List Price | $13.96 (You save $3.17) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs, Pop | | Label | Universal Republic | | Orig Year | 2007 | | All Time Sales Rank | 1286  | | CD Universe Part number | 7457570 | | Catalog number | 000921902 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jul 17, 2007 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | Colbie Caillat; Mikal Blue; Ken Caillat; Jason Reeves; Mikal Blue; Colbie Caillat; Jason Reeves; Ken Caillat | | Recording Time | 44 minutes | | Personnel | Luis Conte - percussion Colbie Caillat - acoustic guitar Stevie Blacke - violin, viola, cello Victor Indrizzo - drums Jason Reeves - acoustic guitar, electric guitar, ukulele, piano Brian Carr - strings, piano Jaco Caraco - electric guitar Michael Baker Mikal Blue - acoustic guitar, electric guitar, Fender Rhodes piano, synthesizer, bass guitar Cecil "Censi" Francis - steel drum

Nice one, Colbie! I really, really like this album. Even though it's nothing special in terms of a new and different sound, it's a great break from the Soulja Boy and Rihannna figures hogging the top spots; I'd rather crinkle my nose than shut up and drive, you know what I mean? A lot of these songs sound the same, true, but they're still rather lovely and I was happy to listen to them multiple times each. Hope to hear more from you soon, Colbie!
