Coco

Some of her songs are a bit more country sounding than I anticipated, but other songs have grown on me besides the 2 that I had heard on the radio, which prompted my purchase.

You won't have to skip a song, every song is beautifully written and sung. The album is a keeper, a great gift. I especially love the song Capri, it has so much meaning and I have dedicated to my sister from another mother who is expecting. Great Album, only wished it was longer because I have to keep playing over and over, not that I mind.

I got this for the bubbly song for my girl friend. After listening to it I was very impressed with Colbie. I love to through this album on and just relax. I can see that it wouldnt be for everyone but give it a try.

This is a tremendous CD. I had never even heard of Colbie until a few months ago. She has a great voice and a style that makes every cut on this CD worth listening to. I'll no doubt be buying more of her music in the weeks ahead.

Go girl. You rock!

Over the weekend, I came across a copy of the debut album by Myspace sensation Colbie Caillat COCO at my library. As someone who likes to check out new music outside her traditional music of goth, industrial, synthpop, and metal, I thought I would give COCO a chance. I knew I could use something to chill out to after work. COCO isn't innovative or original. If you totally dig that typical singer/songwriter, folk/rock type of music, you certainly won't be disappointed by COCO.

Personally? I wasn't all that impressed. Colbie has a fairly decent voice but I can definitely tell her vocal range is limited. The songs themselves are alright but nothing to write home about. They do tread on being bland like the old '70s soft rock band Bread. Still I will admit that Colbie is able to create a good pop hook for her songs. Overall COCO is a pretty good way for Colbie start out but I think she needs to take chances both vocally and lyrically in the future. COCO is predictable and a bit bland. It isn't awful but I can't really recommend it.
