Breakthrough - Deluxe Edition

Last time around, Colbie Caillat was feeling "Bubbly," and the entire pop world seemed to want a sip. But this time, effervescence flirts with explosiveness. For her second album, 'Breakthrough', Colbie has shaken up her sound, bringing in a wider array of producers and players, and significantly picking up the tempo at times from her debut effort's signature ballads. So keep an eye on those carbonation levels: champagne corks may fly. After selling 2 million albums and 6 million downloads with 'Coco' (a certified Gold record in NZ), Colbie is poised for even greater success with this album.

Production credits for 'Breakthrough' were split between two new helmers. One is hitmaker John Shanks, who's particularly known for his work with strong female artists like Kelly Clarkson, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Alanis Morissette, and the Wreckers. The other new guy behind the boards is Ken Caillat, most renowned for his work on one of the top-selling albums of all time, Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours'... and also, not insignificantly, for being Colbie's father. Bringing things full circle, the new album was recorded at Village Recorders in West L.A., where Ken Caillat met his future wife and Colbie's mother-to-be when they were both working there during the making of 'Tusk'.

On 'Breakthrough', the emotional highs are higher, and the lows arguably lower. Think "Bubbly" squared and gone to the beach.
