Colbie Caillat’s “This Time Around”: A Harmonious Celebration of Legacy and Collaboration. By Christian Lamitschka for Country Music News International Magazine. For over a decade, Colbie Caillat has been a defining voice in pop music, her gentle, sun-soaked melodies providing the soundtrack for a generation. Now, the 5X GRAMMY nominee returns with This Time Around, a duets album that is both a loving tribute to her past and a bold step into her future. The project reimagines her greatest hits with a fresh lens, enlisting an impressive roster of country, pop, and soul artists who are also her longtime friends. With over 15 billion global streams and a career built on heartfelt songwriting, Caillat uses this album not just to look back, but to create something entirely new. This Time Around is a masterclass in collaboration, proving that the enduring magic of her songs is amplified when shared with others.

“Sweetness rules on Colbie Caillat's debut, Coco, which is perhaps only appropriate for an album bearing that name, but the record doesn't play like a toasty mug of chocolate on a winter's day, it's a sugary lemonade on a breezy summer afternoon. It's light and comforting, a familiar blend of sunny pop and singer/songwriter tropes that flirt with cliche but never sound hackneyed”

In a certain sense, all of Colbie Caillat's albums sound as if they could be called The Malibu Sessions. Few singer/songwriters of the early 21st century embody the breezy ideals of Southern California as well as Caillat, but she pushed back against her inherent lightness on 2014's Gypsy Heart, co-writing with a battalion of hitmakers and even enlisting mega-producer Max Martin for a track. None of this turned Gypsy Heart into a hit, so she took an indie route for 2016's The Malibu Sessions which, in fact, was the album Caillat hoped to release instead of Gypsy Heart.

The Greatest Singer - Songwriter Hits is the beginning of a new concept around the greatest hits and took the singer-songwriter genre. This 2CD contains the greatest hits of the current generation of singer- songwrtiters including Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Hozier, Paolo Nutini, Ben Howard, James Bay, Dotan and Damien Rice.

Beyonce Knowles may have come up with the title but Girls Run The World is a compilation released in 2021 celebrating who is running chit in music. A diverse selection of some of the modern music that is getting attention. This was put out by UMG Recordings.
