Michael Bublé

Description

Producer David Foster (Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand,
Whitney Houston) has a new discovery in the wake of very successful young find
Josh Groban. Michael Bublé (pronounced boo-blay) is a 25-year-old singing
sensation whose smooth voice and heartthrob style harks back to the swingin’
greats of earlier decades, to the likes of Frank and Dean, but also speaks to
a new generation’s sensibility. On his self-titled debut album, romantic
crooner Bublé makes some of the greatest love songs of all time entirely his
own. Pop’s rush to raid the cradle continues with this promising
debut by 25-year-old Canadian singer Michael Bublé. And while the young vocal
star’s good looks are smart enough for a boy band, his muse seems to have
sprung from a more sassy and compelling musical era. Mentored by Paul Anka
(whose ’50s hit “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” is covered in dreamy, cabaret
fashion here), Bublé sings in the orbits of Darin and Sinatra, covering swing
epoch gems (“Come Fly with Me,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” “That’s All”) and
rock era standards (Van Morrison’s “Moondance,” “How Can You Mend a Broken
Heart” by the Brothers Gibb, Queen’s “Crazy Little Ting Called Love”) with
equal aplomb. David Foster’s production is typically slick and played to the
back row of the bleachers, but it’s informed by smart contexts provided by
such arrangers as Johnny Mandel, Randy Waldman, and Mike Melvoin. If the
choices of material are sometimes staid and predictable, they also give the
singer a crucial framework for building toward something more challenging; his
is a bright future. –Jerry McCulley
