Untitled

Breakthrough is the second studio album by Colbie Caillat. The album was released on August 25, 2009 in the United States through Universal Republic. The first single "Fallin' for You" was released in June 30, 2009 and was a success on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #12. The album made its debut at number one on the Billboard 200.

"Breakthrough" has received mostly positive reviews and has been nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 52nd Grammy Awards.[4]

Background and Production

Caillat worked with various producers, songwriters, and artists including Greg Wells, Rick Nowels, John Shanks, and American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi. Caillat set up a hi-octane 'writing camp' in Hawaii last year, inviting familiar collaborators Jason Reeves and Mikal Blue (who co-produced/co-wrote her debut album) and Kara DioGuardi to help with the album. The deluxe version of Breakthrough was released on August 25, and includes five bonus tracks.[5]

Usage in films and television

Reception

The album has been met with fair to positive reviews.[9]

  • Michael Lello from Pop Matters gave to the album 7 stars(out of 10) and says that:

"On Breakthrough, Caillat wisely builds upon her strengths—the aforementioned disciplined singing approach and girly topics—rather than enter drastic new territory. There’s a consistency throughout the 12 tracks, which is remarkable considering she enlisted some proven hit-makers—co-writer John Shanks (Kelly Clarkson, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow), her producer dad Ken Caillat (who co-produced and co-engineered Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours), and writing partner Kara DioGuardi of American Idol. The industry pros serve to sweeten, not change, Caillat’s sound, which results in a richly textured album, not just a collection of radio-baiting singles, that retains the performer’s personality.

  • The Allmusic review gave to the album 3 stars (out of 5) and says that:

"'Breakthrough' 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".

"Breakthrough never quite lives up to its title. But the songs that do diverge from the formula even slightly-like the Greg Wells-produced "Fearless"-offer delightful relief, and perhaps a taste of what could be if the singer were to dig deeper".

"Colbie’s soothing vocals, the warm sound of the music, and the memorable choruses are all well worth listening to this for when the mood for something easy hits you".

Singles

  • "Fallin' For You" was released as the album's lead single on June 30, 2009. The single debuted at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming Caillat's highest chart debut selling over 118,000 digital downloads. The music video was released in July, 2009.
  • "Begin Again" is the third single and was released on June 29, 2010. [13]
  • "Hold Your Head High" will be the final single of the album.
