Anyone heard of her?

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=8777613

Her music is pretty nice :) I think I might buy her CD.

I was browsing top music on myspace(That's where I pretty much go to find new music).

Tho it's sad that they only show you 10 pages of top artists..cuz there's already some I don't like XD.

I kind of like soft nice music that makes you feel good or songs I can relate to ya know?

I've definately heard of her =)
She is awesome guys and a nice person.
I was lucky enough to go and see her on Wednesday for a little show in Newtown. My friend and I even got to meet her  :wink:

Her CD 'Coco' has already been released in Aus and New Zealand and it'll be released in the U.S on July 17th so when you get it be sure to check out every single song because they are all fantastic in their own right.

From the Washington Post yesterday:

"According to the admittedly sketchy metrics of MySpace, 22-year-old singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat was once the site's most popular unsigned musician. But unlike fellow MySpace sweetheart Tila Tequila, Caillat can actually sing and, if the photos accompanying her major label debut, "Coco," are any indication, she prefers to remain fully clothed.

MySpace stars are usually clamorous creatures better suited to the pages of Maxim magazine than Billboard. It's a wonder Caillat broke through at all: "Coco" is the gentlest of albums, a wispy and amiable exercise in coffeehouse soul that draws equally from Carole King, John Mayer and, more to the point, Jack Johnson, who shares Caillat's love of mildly played, determinedly pleasant folk.

Caillat (the daughter of noted Fleetwood Mac co-producer Ken Caillat) is a warm-voiced and remarkable singer but often the clunkiest of songwriters. The simplicity and sweetness of "Coco's" best tracks (such as "Bubbly," which is powerfully and maybe purposefully reminiscent of Johnson's storied "Bubble Toes") too often gives way to innocuousness (as does the drippy closer, "Capri").

"Coco" is so dogged in its embrace of mid-tempo, diary-entry-style acoustic folk that even its ostensibly upbeat, R&B-inspired tracks threaten to induce a state of comalike mellowness familiar to stoners, surfers and anyone who's ever spent time at Lilith Fair. Caillat, whose air of laid-back chipperness threatens to reach dangerous, Matthew McConaughey levels, is in desperate need of a wizened co-writer and a producer capable of de-perkification. (Is Shelby Lynne available?) With a little seasoning and a judicious layer of grit, she'll be an artist to be reckoned with.

DOWNLOAD THESE: "Bubbly," "Feelings Show," "Oxygen""

I think you guys should take a listen.
I think the album is really great, especially the first 6 tracks.

I highly recommend it.

So I checked her out earlier this week or last week I forget & didn't care for her, but I checked her out last night again & she's growing on me.

She reminds me of Jennifer Aniston though who I can't stand lol hopefully that doesn't bug me too much

Her album is great and she's very sweet. I just hope she'll stay this way.

I just discovered her today and I love her after one listen. I haven't fell for a singer so quickly since Norah. I have to see her live. Bubbly is my favorite song of the year.

Sidenote: She's playing a couple dates with Tyrone Wells! A guy named Jason Reeves, who co-wrote a lot of the songs on Colbie's album, opened for Tyrone last weekend. :) Such a small world, you guys should check out Tyrone. I promise he's reallyyyyy goooddddd.

I don't really care for her, and I've seen her live, and I got bored through the set. Although I imagine that also has to deal with the fact that it was at a festival and someone announced The Format was playing, and than they came back on and said sorry the format is not playing next and my wanting of the format was even greater.

It has that effect. Most of her songs do.
