 Disappointing September 14, 2007
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
I'd never heard of Coblie Caillat before, but I noticed her CD on dispay at Target's breakout artists section and was curious. I listened to some clips and decided to go ahead and buy it, but after I took it home and listened to it I was disappointed. However, the reasons I was disappointed by it may be the reaons other people find it attractive. It was very mellow, but I felt it was mellow in a flat sort of way. There just doesn't seem to be any depth or complexity to it or any real emotion. The lyrics were very predictable and repetitive. Perhaps this album is good to have on in the background when relaxing, but it's not something I enjoy when giving it my full attention.
 Best new sound in a long time July 24, 2007

Every song on this album is a pleasure. Just basic guitars and vocals, with some musical padding. The lyrics are nicely crafted and Colbie's voice is wonderfully interesting. I couldn't get enough of this sound. What concerns me is that this is the same feeling I had when first listening to Norah Jones (a little Norah goes a long way). I'm hoping Colbie continues to bring us this sound but also grows and offers new twists so it doesn't become the same old thing.
 Very Talented Singer/Songwriter July 20, 2007

I saw the video for Bubbly and decided I had to buy this CD. What a voice, and she's gorgeous too. I was not disappointed. My favorite songs are Battle and Tailor Made, but I like all the songs. I am recommending Coco to all my friends.
One word... AMAZING! July 18, 2007

What a nice addition to the acoustic music world! A new artist that has worked hard to get signed and not only puts out a great CD but writes and plays on all of the songs! That can't be said for many new artists these days, especially in the "pop" world. Colbie has such a voice that makes you just want to sit down, slow down, RELAX and unwind. Every track is great! Finally, a CD that I can put into the player and let go without skipping through tracks that I don't like. Some of my favorites include:
Track #7 "Realize" - just a great song! Vocals are awesome!
Track #8 "Battle" - Loved it the first time I heard it!
Track #10 "Magic"- another great one! I like it better unplugged, as I do a lot of her songs, but it is still amazing!Probably my favorite of all is Track #12 "Capri" - Just Colbie and her guitar and so touching lyrics. Don't worry - the rest of the songs are great too, "Bubbly," "midnight Bottle," and "tied Down" are sweet...
Just a great album that I would recommend to anyone wanting a new voice to relax to...
Beautiful, effortless. August 20, 2007

I bought this CD when it was first released and then had the pleasure of seeing Colbie in concert two weeks later. By the time of the concert, I pretty much knew the entire album by heart because I had listened to it so many times. Her voice is so wonderful and when you see her sing, it looks effortless. In person, she sounds exactly like she does on her CD. It was great to see her in concert to hear the story behind some of the songs. "Tailor Made" is a song she wrote for her sister, about finding the man of her dreams -- a guy who is now working on Colbie's show! (He came up to adjust her microphone during the show and she introduced him as her sister's fiance.) So delay no further -- go buy this CD right now! You won't be disappointed.
