“一个不知名的歌手，带给整个乐坛希望。”滚石杂志在蔻比第4个月蝉联网路点播第一名的时候，发表了这个标题。同时间，8家唱片公司展开签约大战，这位被誉为2007年度乐坛最亮眼新人，让6240个创作歌手部落格串联推荐，13万个网友加入好友名单，网路点播超过2500万次，并于 08年3月轰动访华的传奇新人，就是网友们口中的“部落格女孩”--蔻比凯蕾。“大部份唱片公司都说我要重新包装；只有环球给我所有的自由。”嗯、听起来蔻比对唱片业还顶了解的，可能是因为他的父亲Ken Caillat，也是传奇乐团Fleetwood Mac的制作人，“我父亲本来还想请Mik Fleetwood担任专辑的鼓手，但是我不希望藉助大明星的加持。”难怪唱片公司大老板，接受告示牌杂志访问时说：“我们什么都没做，蔻比就把一切都做好了。”
从小接受古典钢琴训练、19岁时学习吉他，才结束第一堂课程就用吉他写下第一首歌曲。2006年9月在网路上发表& ldquo;Bubbly”以及“The Little Things”单曲，一年不到发行首张创作专辑【Coco】(蔻比的小名)。在美国发行当天，只用了几个小时就登上iTune专辑榜冠军，告示牌乐评称她为：“女生版的杰克强森”、专业音乐网站AMG给予四颗星高评价，还盛赞：“这是一个比Norah Jones更轻盈明亮的悦耳作品。”在这个商业行销手法凌驾音乐本质，以及词曲创作被所谓的芭乐公式限制住的现在，蔻比的出现为当代流行乐坛注入无比清新的氧气。从如阳光般温暖的“Bubbly”和“Oxygen”、惬意的中板R&B曲“The Little Things”、带点轻快雷鬼感受的“Tied Down”、到流畅民谣风的“Tailor Made”…紧密构成概念完整的舒适听觉系情绪佳酿。
从部落格起家的蔻比出道以来表现亮眼，首张大碟【Coco】在美国销售已突破百万张，数位销售更是2007年度销售前五强，在发行24周之后，目前依然盘据在告示牌专辑榜前10名。她的出道成名曲”阳光微笑Bubbly，一共被付费下载超过200万次，创下数位单曲下载的惊人纪录。在这张全新的【Coco】精装盘中，更是大手笔增加了9首全新未曝光单曲，以及多张蔻比与家人及朋友过去几年来的写真纪录照片。诚如歌词所说：“It starts in my toes, And I crinkle my nose, Where ever it goes I always know”。蔻比绝对堪称是流行乐坛不容错过的好声音！
Singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat is one of the most celebrated artists to emerge from the growing talent pool of digitally-savvy self-launched artists, whose rise to prominence as the #1 unsigned artist on the popular myspace site has been largely due to her refreshing sense of understatement.

Ultimately, her number of friends swelled to more than 100,000. Her profile has been visited over 3 million times, and she has more than l0 million plays. She's currently averaging 50,000 + a day.
