i went to watch colbie caillat's (pronounced as "kay-lay") showcase in the curve tonight. i must say i fell in love with her simple and melodic music which conjures up images of clear skies and warm breezes.

i have heard about colbie few months back but i thought she is just another teeny-popper. but tonight she impressed me with her music, mostly acoustic folk, light pop/jazz that is easy on the ears. she has a unique voice. she is definitely better than jack johnson, the male singer she is often compared to.

colbie reminds me a lot of singapore's tanya chua (cai jian ya), one of the most talented singer-songwriters in the chinese pop scene.

i am going to get her album tomorrow!

Leslie,
Sure or not better than Jack Johnson? :D
Jack has plenty of wit, charm, sarcasm and honesty in his lyrics & music. Until I listen to more of Colbie, i shall stop at this juncture.:)

glysinn,

i am talking not about lyrics, i am talking about the strength of the melody and pop sensibility, in which case, ms caillat wins hands-down. maybe you can argue that mr. johnson's music is more for the mature audience, which i do agree ;-)
