コルビー・カイラットColbie Caillat - Bubbly: Closed Captioned コルビー・カイラットの"Bubbly"↑
一度聞いてすっごく気に入ってしまった。
ぜひ バブリー 聞いてみて！
By age 21, Californian vocalist Colbie Caillat
had evolved swiftly from an aspiring R&B/folk singer
to a pop sensation with the marketing assistance
of a little networking tool called Myspace.
She grew up in Malibu and Ventura County
and caught the music bug at an early age
from her father Ken Caillat,
an established audio engineer
who helped produce Fleetwood Mac's Rumours
and Tusk.
Songs were often mixed at the console
in her Malibu beach house,
filling the corridors with the sound
of Billy Idol, Pat Benatar, and other
'80s pop/rock.
As a child, Caillat gave piano lessons
a try but wasn't inspired
until she turned 11 years old
and became enthralled watching
Lauryn Hill sing in Sister Act 2.
Immediately realizing that she wanted to be a singer,
and with her parents' encouragement,
she started taking vocal lessons.
At age 15, in a twist of fate,
she met Mikal Blue, a producer
who had previously worked with Five
for Fighting and Carrie Underwood.
He hired her to sing on a few techno songs
that were to be used during runway models'
shows and they cultivated a professional
relationship and began writing together.
At 19, she picked up an acoustic guitar
and the two recorded the first song she composed.
As the collaboration thickened,
Jason Reeves entered the picture
and lent his artistic know-how to help shape
and craft the music for her debut, Coco.
Caillat wrote the basic melodies,
usually in her bathroom
because of the reverby acoustics,
and would then bounce her ideas off
Blue or Reeves for their artistic input.
After finishing a handful of songs,
she posted some tunes on Myspace
and generated virtually no response
for the first few months.
To her astonishment,
when she added the single "Bubbly" to the site,
people latched on to the catchy hook.
As word of mouth spread,
her page pulled in a few thousand hits a day;
after she had accumulated 6,240 friends,
Rolling Stone highlighted her
as one of the top female artists on Myspace.
For four months,
she was the number one unsigned artist,
and garnered over 14 million plays.
With such an appealing statistic
on her résumé,
record labels began courting her
and she signed to Universal Republic,
as her number of online friends
surpassed the 100,000 mark.
In July of 2007,
her label released Coco. ~
