Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ('I've Got You Under My Skin') with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's 'A Foggy Day in London Town,' 'Feeling Good,' 'Try A Little Tenderness' and Cole Porter's 'I've Got You Under My Skin.' But it's the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with -- apt tribute to Bublé hero Bobby Darin -- that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland's 'How Sweet It Is,' Leon Russell's lovely 'Song For You,' with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ('Quando, Quando, Quando''s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles' 'Can't Buy Me Love' that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk's more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Bublé a welcome swinging jazz showcase on 'The More I See of You,' a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Foster's slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. -- Jerry McCulley [Note: A special edition including two bonus tracks--'Dream a Little Dream' and 'Mack the Knife'--is also available.] Michael Bublé and More

This CD is no exception. I highly recommend purchasing it. Rating: - Great CDGreat CD by a great artist. I can't say anything bad about this CD. Rating: - Thank You, Sunday MorningWith so many reviews I am basically doing this to be able to rate the CD, which I gave five stars to. My sister had made me aware of a Sunday morning show hosted by Charles Osgood called Sunday Morning which usually features a singer or group each week. One Sunday it was Michael Buble and I decided I liked his style. I am not a Frank Sinatra fan, nor a Dean Martin, Paul Anka or Perry Como. I am a recent Guy Lombardo fan who awoke in me an interest in big band music which is a definite change of pace ... Read More |
