Summer came back in a tiny plastic box.

Even though we hate to admit it, winter is making it's comeback once again. Every night it gets dimmer just a little bit earlier than the night before. I'm having a hard time putting my full length jeans on when I just got used to wearing my denim shorts. What about Christmas decorations that are going to surround us in a few months? I don't know about the others but I'm not ready to set my mind up for that just yet.

Not only winter is making comeback. Luckily for all of us who happen to enjoy danceable harmonies combined with pure acoustic sounds, I now proudly announce that Colbie Caillat's second studio album 'Breakthrough' has been released all over Europe on the 24th August. In fact we should be very excited about it since we got have fun with this sweet sugar one day more than her home natives in USA where the same album got it's release a day after!

Someone who already is familiar with Colbie's music should not feel afraid nor prejudiced, this one is not going to let you down. 'Breakthrough' is one of those pop albums that takes you right there instantly. 'I won't' and 'Begin Again' are the perfect song choices as album starters. What makes this album interesting is that out of around 50 songs written by Colbie with her trusted co-producers Mikal Blue and Jason Reeves, American Idol judge KaraDioGuardi, Rick Nowels and a few others, the chosen dozen of songs that made it to the actual album were picked by Colbie Caillat's very own fans.

It could be seen as unfortunate that 'Breakthrough's is not very successful at surprising. Once you're finished with a song and moving to to the next you have already forgotten the song you just heard. Positively you are already so into that new song that you just don't care! This music is not to shock you but more than likely to please you. Colbie's soft voice is a real soul repairer. It's not hard to figure out that everything on the album is been written nowhere else than in Hawaii.

I advice you not to stress about the fact that this 'Breakthrough' is not necessarily going to break through your inner critic fence. Chill out. Jump into your pathetic wool socks and wrap yourself into something warm, close your eyes and let yourself to be flown away to a warm paradise island with Colbie Caillat.
