The making of Colbie Caillat's Breakthrough was far more purposeful than the ramshackle sessions that became Caillat's first album. The way of charming naiveté is more than made up for with greater experience and heightened maturity. Colbie says "When I found out I had six months to make this album it was so exciting, because my favourite part is being in the studio and having a chance to get it right. "
Production credits for Breakthrough were split between two new helmers. One is hitmaker John Shanks, who's particularly known for his work with strong female artists like Kelly Clarkson, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Alanis Morissette, and the Wreckers. The other new guy behind the boards is , most renowned for his work on one of the top-selling albums of all time, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours... and also, not insignificantly, for being Colbie's father. Bringing things full circle, the new album was recorded at Village Recorders in West L.A., where met his future wife and Colbie's mother-to-be when they were both working there during the making of Tusk.
"We tried different versions of a lot of the songs-some raw and acoustic; some with lots of harmonies and others with 20 more instruments than needed to be there-just to see which version sounded best. We ended up having a lot of variety." But for all this diversification, there's at least one carry-over and constant: the front-and-center intimacy of Caillat's vocals, which fans already relate to coming through their ear buds like the voice of a warm and trusted friend.
