Malibu native Colbie Calliat's style is thoughful, engaging acoustic pop in tune with Jack Johnson, Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac circa 'Rumours,' which coincindentally, her father, Ken Calliat, co-produced. "A great song," says Caillat, "should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good." Taking her own sound advice, Calliat's debut album 'Coco' is simply crammed full of them.
