Music Review: Colbie Caillat - Coco

Colbie Caillat, my new music crush. Discovered completely by chance last week on iTunes, I previewed some of the songs from her debut album, simply called "Coco", and was completely blown away.

The simplicity and the sweatness of the tune and her really nice vocals make the album simply amazing. It's light and comforting with a familiar blend of pop and jazz. It's like a lighter and brighter Nora Jones that could be listened during a breezy afternoon and that sounds like a ideal soundtrack to a few hours in a cozy coffeehouse or a montage on Grey's Anatomy (and I'm sure Colbie will be heard on several shows this coming season because it's so what this type of programs usually feature). It flows easily and sweatly, filled with gently melodies that prove to be quite endearing. Coblie sings about simple, everyday things - love and life - but something about it is different in a way that makes it quite appealing.

I'm sure we will hear a lot more of her really soon. Check her album, you won't be disappointed! A

Here's a little preview so you can have an idea, it's one of the the title songs of her album and the song's called Bubbly:
