I just haven't met him yet!!

Advantages: Some of his own songs, some classics
Disadvantages: None

...Georgia On My Mind and Crazy Love to name but a few. In my opinion he does a good job with each song, putting his own spin on it but still keeping the same essence of each song which I like. The rest of the album is as follows: "Cry Me a River" "All of Me" "Georgia on My Mind" "Crazy Love" "Haven't Met You Yet" "All I Do Is Dream of You" "Hold On" "Heartache Tonight" "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" "At This ...

Review of Crazy Love - Michael Buble

Swinging and Swaying Into The Spotlight

Advantages: A superb mix of tracks on an accomplished debut album
Disadvantages: One or two weaker links.

...has been the Canadian crooner Michael Bublé. THE SINGER & ALBUM Grammy award-winning Michael Bublé burst on to the scene with his eponymous debut in 2003, which features a number of well-known covers spanning several decades of popular music. It was received extremely well by both the paying public and music critics alike, winning him the honour of Best New Talent at Canada’s 2004 Juno Awards (think the equivalent of the Brits). Along with ...
...one of my favourite George Michael songs, “Kissing A Fool”, and the Van Morrison classic “Moondance”. I bought the album on the back of hearing his rendition of “Come Fly With Me” and when I examined the track listing, I suspected he may have bitten off more than he could chew. It’s one thing to cover a Peggy Lee classic, which, perhaps a younger audience would not have heard so much – but another thing entirely to take on a consummate showman like ...

Review of Michael Buble [ECD] - Michael Buble

The most wonderful album

Advantages: Beautiful tracklist, lovely voice
Disadvantages: None

...is a traditional hymn that Camilla performs wonderfully, recently you may have also heard Faryl Smith singing this on her sophmore album (as well as her debut) Wonderland and while both versions are beautiful, I found Camilla’s more pleasing. It could be because I’m more of a Camilla fan to be honest, but it is…pretty darn amazing! I Can’t Help Falling In Love is a song I’d only heard once before, I’d heard Mark Owen sing it on youtube and really ...
...lovely. Most people will know Camilla for this track which is good because it shows her talents very well. I had no idea what to expect with Rain, I’d never heard of it before and sadly google didn’t help me much so I listened with great curiosity. I LOVED it. It’s so bright and joyful, perfect to listen to in the springtime I think. It just conjures up lovely imagery, I can see a lovely garden and fairies, it would be perfect for a family movie ...

Review of Camilla Kerslake - Camilla Kerslake

A voice for a night for two ;)

Advantages: stylish performance, consistent through all tracks
Disadvantages: lots of covers (but that's what Michael does)

...It Is sounds like blues, it's just like milder version of SRV with piano instead of guitar, but it still sound consistent with the rest of the tracks, bringing freshness to this jazzy climate. Song For You is definitely a highlight of this CD with Chris Botti, an established trumpeter, playing nice, atmospheric passages through this track. Classic Frank Sinatra's interpretation of this tune needs no introduction, because I've Got You Under My ...
...his way with elegance and a touch. Stevie Wonder's You And I closes the album with gentle sounds of piano and orchestra. There are two bonus tracks Dream a Little Dream and Mack the Knife appearing on this CD. Well, brought together this CD is a very good choice for romantic night with your partner, as I said before, but if you want to listen to it in a car you might find youself driving off road sometimes. enjoy listening! ...

Review of It's Time - Michael Buble

Timeless Voice

Advantages: Outstanding singing, some excellent instrumental and vocal arrangements
Disadvantages: Bland production in places

Michael Bublé is a man who started his career ostensibly giving the impression he was stuck in the past but who has become a global superstar by cleverly mining the archives of popular standards and giving them a new, if not always modern, twist. He has, however, always ensured his albums contained at least one radio friendly, middle of the road pop song to help "sell" his albums, and you would have to have been living in a cave to be unfamiliar ...
...born in British Columbia, Canada, in 1975. His vocal talent became apparent in his teens but it wasn't until a chance meeting with David Foster, the legendary American music producer, at a wedding where he was performing, that he got his big break. Foster signed Bublé to his record label and the rest, as they say, is history. "Crazy Love" is Bublé's fourth studio album, and as ever, is made up mainly of cover versions given the Bublé makeover, with ...
