Description
Colbie Caillat's breakthrough arrived before BREAKTHROUGH, when her debut COCO turned into a breezy surprise hit. BREAKTHROUGH isn't meant to catapult Caillat into a mainstream that already knows her, but to consolidate her success, so it's not entirely a surprise that the album bears evidence of her showbiz kid roots, a record that relies just a bit more on the studio than the song. It's a creation that's slicker and sleeker than the debut, but fortunately, it's not quite at the expense of Caillat's simple charms. The high-buff sheen on BREAKTHROUGH can mean that the songs glide down a little too smoothly, sliding down like a velvety pina colada, which is perhaps a bit too sophisticated after the everyday charms of COCO, and perhaps a little bit too polished for Colbie in general. Underneath all that gloss, Caillat remains a simple girl singing songs of love as light and crisp as a sugar cookie.
