Colbie Caillat

Especially amongst teenage girls, Colbie Caillat has been a huge hit with her CD "Coco". She has a mix of upbeat and slow songs with lyrics that young women, especially, can relate to. Although I don't think her music necessarily represents American culture as a whole, I think it it a good representation of American teenage/college-aged girls. She sings about boys and love and confusion which I'm sure every girl in high school or college can relate to. Her lyrics really show what young American women think and worry about. Her lyrics also show that young women value friendship and relationships, and Colbie's optomism in most of her songs give us hope and inspiration.
