COLBIE CAILLAT AND TIMELESS TEEN ICON ARCHIE ANDREWS

‘FALLIN’ TOGETHER IN TRUE COMIC BOOK STYLE

Universal Republic Singer/Songwriter Ushers in New Album BREAKTHROUGH,
And Hit Debut Single ‘Fallin For You’ In Special Comic Book Edition
Featuring Colbie In Fabled Riverdale

( Riverdale , USA ) Perpetual teen and all-American comic book icon
Archie Andrews may have sent shockwaves around the world when it was
recently announced he will propose to fussy heiress Veronica Lodge
in the 600th issue of the 68 year old comic book (and not girl-next
door Betty Cooper), but don’t tell Universal Republic singing sensation
Colbie Caillat. The platinum-plus, award winning singer/songwriter
has ‘fallen’ for the red-headed Archie in a big way, and will be
ushering in her new single “Fallin’ For you” and upcoming new album,
BREAKTHROUGH, due out August 25th, by literally ‘fallin’ for Archie
in a historic singing match-up splashed inside the pages of Veronica’s
very own comic – VERONICA # 196.

The combustible issue features Archie
and Colbie on the cover playfully readying for their musical debut
together while a very wary Veronica looks on! The much-buzzed about
issue hits newsstands on September 2, 2009.

The charismatic Colbie, whose breakthrough 2007 single “Bubbly” and
debut double-platinum album COCO took the entire music and online world
by storm, may be facing her most daunting challenge yet as she heads into
fabled Riverdale. Known for generations as the idyllic home of Archie
Andrews and his Pals ‘n’ Gals from Riverdale High – it’s even more famous
as the comedic hornet’s nest to one of the most storied love triangles in
all of comicdom. And even though Archie’s much-publicized proposal to
Veronica is set five years in the future, the comic hijinx surrounding
Colbie, Archie, Veronica, and Betty is most definitely churning in real time.

In the story, appropriately titled “Fallin’ for You”, Betty wins tickets to
see Colbie Caillat in concert, and Veronica wants in, but Betty has already
promised to take Archie! Of course, when Veronica wants something, she
doesn’t give up that easily. And wait until you see what happens when she
runs into Colbie!
“Mixing it up with Archie, Veronica, and Betty and the gang is absolutely
one of the highlights of my career,” says Colbie. Not to be outdone,
Veronica Lodge texted us this quote about appearing with the Malibu-based
superstar. “Colbie is cool. She is incredibly talented with a sensational
singing voice. Riverdale hasn’t seen anyone like her since…well….me.”
Archie was…ahem…conspicuously unavailable for comment.
As for Betty, she only asks that you pick up a copy or two of VERONICA#196
to see who exactly falls for who….

Colbie Caillat burst on to the music scene in July of 2007 with COCO,
gaining unprecedented notoriety prior to the release of the acclaimed
album as one of the emerging ‘do-it-yourselfers’ in the digital realm.
Cited as the #1 unsigned artist on MySpace at the time, her unscripted
rise attracted a passionate online audience across the globe. Hailed at
the beginning of 2007 by Rolling Stone magazine as the music scene’s most
promising undiscovered star (Universal Republic Records welcomed her into
the fold soon after), her laid-back song “Bubbly” and subsequent album
COCO connected with fans via a groundswell of word-of-mouth excitement
that helped vault her to the top of the online, radio and video charts:
The CD debuted with a record breaking opening on iTunes’ coveted Albums
chart within hours of its release, scoring a Top 5 landing on its first
go-around on the Billboard Top Albums chart (the song hovered amid the
top echelon of the charts for months and even returned to the Top Ten
for a second run in the fall of ‘07). “Bubbly” hit #1 on the Triple A
and Hot AC formats, garnering more than 100 million in radio audience,
with her world-famous MySpace site setting record after record in online
popularity, currently nearing an astounding 50 million visits by fans.
