Colbie Caillat - Coco

I noticed this singer in the iTunes store yesterday and was surprised to see it go to number one in the album downloads chart in just one day especially since it's an artist I never heard of before now, so I decided to give it a try and wow...she really has a fantastic voice. She's not a mainstream artist which is probably why I liked her so much (I'm getting sick of the mainstream sound). Apparently she falls under the 'New - Acoustic' genre, which I have to admit I've never heard of before now.

Colbie has been the #1 unsigned artist on MySpace for 4 months in a row (until she got signed) so that's probably why she already has a pretty decent fanbase (her page has been visited over 3 million times and generates more than 50k worth of hits a day).

I think that everyone should give her a try and who knows you might end up really loving her sound cause she certainly is a breath of fresh air in this music industry that's filled with songs that barely have a decent msg behind them. If you like artists such as KT Tunstall, Alanis Morissette then you'd probably enjoy this as well.

My Rating: 9/10
