Colbie Caillat - All of You
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Colbie Caillat-All of YouIt used to be easy to dismiss Caillat’s cheerful music as lightweight, Disney-friendly fare. That’s no longer the case. Her third album adds surprising depth to her sound, especially on “Favorite Song,” an unlikely duet with actor-rapper Common, and the speculative love of “What If,” also featured in the movie Letters to Juliet. Still, the album’s best songs are sunny, breezy pop nuggets like the finger-popping “I Do” and the handclapping “Brighter Than the Sun,” both inspired by Caillat’s new romance with band member Justin Young.
