Colbie Caillat - Coco (Deluxe Edition) (2008)

The album was released on July 17, 2007 in the United States, debuting at number five on the US Billboard 200, selling 51,000 copies in its first week. It also became Caillat's best-selling album to date, selling 2,100,000 copies in the United States and over 3,000,000 copies around the world. Caillat supported the album with the Coco World Tour, as well as four singles. The lead single "Bubbly" was a huge international hit, while the following two singles "Realize" and "The Little Things" were minor hits. The final single, titled "Somethin' Special", was released on July 29, 2008 to support the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. It was later mixed and titled "Somethin' Special (Beijing Olympic Mix)" and was also the opening song for the 2009 film Bride Wars.

Coco is the 22-year-old Californian singer-guitarist's debut album, which has recently turned platinum in the States. Colbie Caillat broke through MySpace in the US, where she became the leading unsigned singer for over four months last year. One thing is for sure, it is clear how it has done so well in states. It is very pleasant indeed, perfectly produced, and is packed with tracks like Bubbly, the sort of record destined to reside on a Magic Playlist for the rest of the year.

However, there is more to the whole thing than meets the eye. Callait is the daughter of Fleetwood Mac's co-producer, Ken. She'd like this album to be her Rumours. It's not there yet, but you can certainly feel that vibe soaking through everything here, unsurprising for a girl who grew up watching them work. They were not the group however who got her into music. She began singing at the age of 11 after hearing the Fugees version of Killing Me Softly. As a result, her voice often comes across as a perfect blend of Lauryn Hill and Christine McVie.
