Due to unprecedented public demand US star Colbie Caillat is set to re-release her debut single 'Bubbly' on 8th Sept ’08.
'Bubbly' has already been a huge success, reaching No 1 in 12 countries, and her debut album 'Coco' has achieved multi-platinum success throughout the world. 'Coco' has now sold in excess of 2 million copies and is the No 11 best-selling digital album of all time selling more digital albums than Coldplay!
In an age when marketing has been elevated above content and so many songs are written and produced to a pre-ordained formula, Caillat comes as a welcome breath of fresh air. Think of the kind of vintage, organically-crafted records that Carole King or Joni Mitchell used to make. Thankfully, it's a tradition that is being kept alive today by the likes of Norah Jones, Jack Johnson - and now Colbie Caillat.
Caillat grew up in the idyllic clime of Malibu, California with music all around her. Her father, Ken Caillat, co-produced Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" and "Tusk" albums and later ran his own record label. As a child she recalls the likes of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie being around. "Of course I've learned a lot from them. You'd be a fool not to," she says. Yet she is totally her own woman.
Amazingly Colbie only started playing guitar three years ago and was soon consumed with the songwriting bug. Fast forward 18 months and she put a few songs on MySpace. "Nothing much happened for a few months," she remembers. "Then I wrote this song called 'Bubbly’ and put it up there and it got this huge reaction. I mean thousands and thousands of hits every day." In the end, she became the number one unsigned artist on MySpace for four successive months, garnering an almost unbelievable 10 million plays.

! I love Colbie so much, although "Bubbly" isn't my favourite song of hers, I still hope a re-release makes the song big. I was really surprised it never done well, judging by the amount of crap that gets in the top 10 nowadays 
! She deserves so much success here
