ADVERTISEMENT Caillat had one of the more popular hits of 2007 with the dreamy song "Bubbly," off her debut album "Coco." The ubiquitous song had her so in demand she went from opening for acts like John Mayer to headlining shows, and writing with sensations like Taylor Swift. Life got so hectic for the 24-year-old that she experienced writer's block. She was so busy touring she felt like had no time to actually live life and experience real emotions to write about. So she went away with "American Idol" judge and songwriter Kara DioGuardi to brainstorm for new material, and ended up talking about relationships and heartbreak _ just the kind of inspiration Caillat needed for her new CD, "The Breakthrough," which is out this week. The album's title not only represents breaking her creative impasse, but accomplishing other goals as well. The Associated Press: So, when I say "Breakthrough," what comes to mind? Caillat: I have been struggling for years with stage fright, and finally I woke up a couple of months ago and I knew I had a lot of preparation for this new album coming out. I was going to be going on tour again and I had to find ways for me to love it, and breakthrough my fears and my insecurities and be comfortable with myself as a young woman ... Sometimes I would be having a great show and having fun and the next night I would be terrified and almost cry before I go out on stage. It was just inconsistent. I think it has to do with being comfortable in your own skin and finding out how to do that. AP: You were young when you had your initial success. Was that hard? Caillat: Well, what was so hard is was my first record, I didn't have any preparation for it. I put my songs up on MySpace, and all of a sudden got a record deal from that, and went on tour with the Goo Goo Dolls. ... So I felt as though I got thrown into this business and it took me two years to figure out and learn how to deal with it and to love it and now I do. AP: With more success comes more expectations. Do you feel pressure from those around you to create or do you block that out? Caillat: I felt pressure from the beginning when I had to write for this record because after I had been on tour for a year and a half and when I was writing on tour I was writing these sad songs about missing home and I was just worried that I was going to have this depressing album. ... Once I decided to let go of that I went to Hawaii in January with my friend Jason Reeves and Kara DioGuardi. We were there for three weeks and we had this house on the beach and just were writing songs and talking about experiences and love and breakups that we all go through and really having like this therapy session of everything that we go through in life, and how we can write about it and how we can have people relate to it. AP: What do you think that what has happened with Paula Abdul and Kara on "American Idol"? As a women in this industry are you sick of people pitting women against each other? Caillat: Yeah, I think it's the whole thing putting Paula and Kara against each other, it is all like a publicity scheme just to get more attention for the show. I think it is never as bad everyone makes it to be, and I know that they get along and they have fun together on the show. And I don't know if Paula is coming back, really I think she probably will. They are probably just trying to scare everyone. But I really don't know for sure. AP: I know that you are friends with Taylor Swift. Did you two collaborate? Caillat: I wrote a song with Taylor Swift for her new album. It's called "Breathe" and I went to Nashville about a year and a half ago, and she wanted to write with me, and I flew there and we worked on the songs on morning and she had this beautiful song started and it's about having to let someone go and say goodbye to a really good friend. And we became friends after that. She is so sweet, so beautiful, so talented and honestly just a really intelligent young women. She knows what she is doing and she knows how to handle her career and take charge. I love her. ___ On the Net: http://www.colbiecaillatmusic.com/ Email Story IM Story Printable View Blog This Sign in to recommend this article » 0 users recommend Related Articles: Entertainment & Lifestyle The Who's Pete Townshend at work on new musicalAP - Wednesday, August 26 'Thriller' co-star becomes Jackson creditorAP - Wednesday, August 26 Orthodox Church condemns Madonna gig in BulgariaAFP - Wednesday, August 26 Bulgaria's church deplores Madonna concertAP - Wednesday, August 26 Caillat has a 'Breakthrough' with sophomore CDAP - Wednesday, August 26 Most Popular – Entertainment Viewed Jackson killed by drugs cocktail: court Global stock markets up, hit 10-month highs NASA begins filling Discovery's external fuel tank Homes of former Porsche executives searched: report France to claim exclusive Mediterranean fishing zone View Complete List » Search: Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Copyright © 2009 Yahoo!
