Sometimes when making music, less is more. For American singer Colbie Caillat this is her approach; she is the female equivalent of Jack Johnson - except better looking and actually talented. Like her other big hit single 'Realize', 'Bubbly' is typical acoustic guitar led summer day pop like a warm breeze blowing across a sun-kissed Malibu beach. Her voice is sweet and full of melody and Caillat uses it well and keeps it interesting.

The song starts awkwardly with a simple guitar and piano before Caillat asks to be counted in. It is all a bit pretentious but she soon gets on with it as the first verse races to the chorus: "It starts in my toes and I crinkle my nose. Wherever it goes, I always know... that you make me smile, please stay for a while. Now just take your time, wherever you go". It is typically wet girly stuff revealing a rare rainy day of staying in bed and being in love. All the mushiness aside, it is a great tune, even if she runs out of words with a minute to go and resorts to some warbling; but after a repeated first verse, she treats us to a slightly different chorus revealing a bit more of the intimacy. The last twenty five seconds just drags out what should be a punchy finish.

'Bubbly' is a decent song which gets by on Caillat's gorgeous tuneful voice, a minimalist approach and a simple production. This is her world and she is sticking to it as most of her platinum debut album 'Coco' suggests. A good song but too short and lacking impact.
