The deluxe edition of Colbie Caillat's sweet-natured debut Coco is expanded by a full disc of new material containing eight songs -- mainly covers, live tracks and alternate versions. This is the kind of material that used to show up on B-sides but now are gathered for deluxe editions, but no matter how they're presented the end result is the same: this is pleasant, unessential music. Because this is Colbie Caillat, these odds and ends lean toward the pleasant, as she offers a breezy reggae-fied version of Dusty Springfield's "Brand New Me," the sweet "Beijing Olympic Mix" of "Somethin' Special," a relaxed take on Lauryn Hill's "Tell Him," a perfectly fine live take on Bob Marley's "Turn Your Lights Down Low," then a "piano version" of the hit "Magic," and an acoustic take on her breakthrough "Bubbly." Nothing here raises a temperature or an eyebrow, it's all sun-streaked and mellow, and it's all more of the same of what was on Coco, and it may be enough to tide over fans until they get a proper second album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Colbie Caillat’s dusky vocals and laid back rhythms have
earned her critical acclaim and 2 million albums sales
since the release of her debut album COCO last July. The
story of Caillat’s myspace rise is well known by now; the
power of the site and her legion of fans (Over 25 million!)
netted her a record deal, huge sales, a Top 5 album debut
and three hit singles (so far) with the ubiquitous
“Bubbly”, the follow-up “Realize” and the current single
“The Little Things”. “Bubbly” and “Realize” were both
Top 5 hits at Top 40 and Hot AC and “Little Things” is currently
Top 20 at Hot AC and climbing quickly. This deluxe
edition includes 7 additional tracks. Featuring new, live,
alternate mixes and even a few cover versions (Tell Him –
Lauryn Hill, Turn Down Your Lights – Bob Marley and
Brand New Me – Dusty Springfield). The Deluxe Edition
will be packaged in an 8 panel digipak that will also
include an 8 page color booklet. The booklet is filled with
personal photos, taken over the past year, of Colbie, her
friends, family and band.
