Life In Full Colour is the first official studio release for English artist Callaghan. The album was recorded from August 2010 to 2011 and released May 1, 2012 on Green Town Music and was produced by Shawn Mullins. == Background == Life In Full Colour was recorded at 3 separate studios and consists of twelve tracks. They are all original compositions written or co-written by Callaghan. The tracks ''Sweet Surrender'' and ''The Only Thing Real'' were co-written with Shawn Mullins. ''It Was Meant To Be'' was co-written with Grammy Nominated songwriter John Peppard who co-wrote In Another's Eyes (with Garth Brooks and Bobby Wood) the Grammy winning song for Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. It was a Number 1 song in the USA and was included on the album Sevens by Garth Brooks. As a long-time Shawn Mullins fan, Callaghan contacted the Grammy nominated singer-songwriter in 2009 through MySpace, and he agreed to a rare collaboration. An initial recording trip to Atlanta, Georgia, USA in July 2009 produced three songs, ''Smile'', ''Look Around'' and ''Edge Of Love'' and in so doing Shawn became something of a protégé to her. The tracks were then promoted on both sides of the Atlantic. The song ''Smile'' received critical acclaim from Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 when it was released to radio on a promotional 3-track EP.〔Callaghan: played on Bob Harris Saturday Show, BBC Radio 2: January 2, 2010: retrieved from http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00pk7w4 on January 3, 2010〕 This prompted her life-changing decision to move to the USA in 2010 to finish the album and tour with Mullins. Callaghan left her London lodgings and headed for the American South. This experience was the inspiration for the album's opening summer track and first single from the album, ''Best Year''. Callaghan now calls Atlanta, and the United States, home. Work started on the album in August 2010 and it was completed in 2011 with pre-release limited edition copies made available. The record was tracked in and around Atlanta with Mullins who both produced and played on the album. The 12 songs represent Callaghan's eclectic and dynamic style, combining shades of folk, country, rock and pop into a seamless fusion of feeling and melody.
