Right off the bat, Michael Buble has you in his corner just because you know people have been calling the poor guy "Bubble" all his life (keep that accent on the second syllable, folks). Nomenclature aside, Buble's debut album positions him as something of a Harry Connick, Jr. for the 21st century. His husky croon gives him a bearing beyond his tender years, and in fact his Sinatra-phrased, pop-jazz style bears strong echoes of Connick's singing. Accordingly, the production leans heavily on the updated swing of chestnuts like "Fever" and "Come Fly With Me," but that's only part of the story.
As a modern song stylist, Buble digs into the standards of a more contemporary songbook as well. George Michael's jazzy ballad "Kissing a Ballad" has been a standard-in-waiting for some time, and a version of the Bee Gees' soulful ballad "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" features a guest turn by Barry Gibb himself. And there are worse things that could happen to Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life" than to be given the big-band treatment. It's refreshing to hear the debut of a young singer who's simply applying a strong voice and style to quality songs instead of cynically treading the teen-pop treadmill.

Michael Buble Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Michael BUBLE's VOICE is a gift to be shared!
What a great album. Boy does this kid ever have the pipes and looks! Everyone that's heard this disc is blown away by the velvet smooth vocals and sweet, sweet music. It seems that Foster has unveiled a true legend in the making.
You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine and How Can You Mend a Broken Heart are destined to become 'new' classics -- this boy would have made Sinatra, Darrin, Torme and even Elvis proud.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great song styling lives again!!
Michael Buble's style heralds back to a time when a smooth voice made the girls wild. I'm not going to compare Michael to Old Blue Eyes because he is not a copy of him, but a celebration of a genre that will never die (it only goes into hiding occasionnaly). This is a wonderful album with fresh arrangements like “Moondance”. Mr. Buble also show’s his respect for the afford mentioned one of the blue eyes with a couple of songs, “Summerwind” and “Come Fly With Me”, again these are not copies, they are pure Michael. My wife and I hope the best for this young talent and his wonderful instrument. If you like Sinatra, Conick, et al, GET THIS CD!!!

| | Michael Buble Come Fly With Me CD (2004) With DVD; Digipak
Michael Buble
$13.29
This release includes a bonus DVD featuring backstage and interview footage, and concert performances from New York, London, Hollywood and South Africa.
As with many emerging artists, Michael Buble is still developing a distinctive style of his own on COME FLY WITH ME. Regardless of that minor detail, what Buble does know is who he is as a performer, and what he wants to do with his considerable vocal talent. Reviving tunes made famous by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley, and Bobby Darin, Buble sings each melody with a fetching blend of deep respect and fresh-faced enthusiasm. And he has got the chops to back it all up--Buble is blessed with a sleek, warm tone in the tradition of the aforementioned royalty, as well as an undeniable ability to swing. Coming out backed by a full big band with punchy arrangements is one of his secret weapons--the guy surrounds himself with many like-minded musicians of an extremely high caliber. Highlights include a lightly swaying "My Funny Valentine" and a rousing yet nuanced take on "Nice 'N Easy."
This CD/DVD combo pack contains Buble's new CD, featuring 6 tracks and live performance footage and interview/backstage footage on DVD.
| | Michael Buble It's Time CD (2005) Special Edition
Michael Buble
$11.65
Michael Buble's third major US release (including the mostly live COME FLY WITH ME) stays on message--this young Canadian loves the lush, swaying music of his parents' and grandparents' generations. Buble's albums, however, are much more than mere back-in-the-day exercises. The production and arranging of David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban) is eclectic in a way that firmly places the tunes at the dawn of the 21st century, and, more importantly, Buble possesses the chops and sense of style to re-imagine the adult-contemporary vocal genre in a distinctive manner. In addition to standards by Gershwin and Porter, Buble embraces a variety of sounds, from Motown ("How Sweet It Is") to bossa nova ("Quando, Quando, Quando" with Nelly Furtado) to the Beatles ("Can't Buy Me Love" with a "She Loves You" tag). With his smooth croon and charming persona, Buble is a natural performer, and, for fans of fearlessly romantic and infectiously swinging music, IT'S TIME is a sure bet.
Import version of this out-of-print in the US Special Edition. Young crooner Michael Buble delivers an album of love songs as powerful as chocolate and candlelight. From covers such as Ray Charles' You Don't Know Me' to 'Home', penned by Buble and Amy Foster-Gillies, the album is a romantic treat. With total sales of his CDs and DVDs in the U.S. well over 1 million units, plus glowing reviews and standing ovations everywhere, Buble is set for an even bigger and better year. Special Edition has 2 extra tracks and special Digipak packaging. Warner. 2005.
Personnel include: Michael Buble (vocals); Nelly Furtado (vocals); Dean Parks, Heitor Pereira, Brian Green (guitar); Dan Higgins (flute, saxophone); Randy Waldman (piano); Christian McBride, Robert Hurst, Brian Bromberg (bass instrument); Jeff Hamilton, Dave Tull, Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Rafael Padilla (percussion).

| | Michael Buble Caught In The Act CD (2005) With DVD
Michael Buble
$16.15
On this 2005 CD/DVD release, charismatic Canadian singer Michael Buble is featured in a vibrant concert setting. The tracks on the DVD and CD differ, and while the former presents more material, the audio disc offers up eight excellent performances. Here Buble is supported by a formidable horn-heavy ensemble, creating a buoyant energy that perfectly suits his expressive voice. Buble lends his Sinatra-like swagger to lively renditions of "Feeling Good" and "Can't Buy Me Love," and duets with Italian vocalist Laura Pausini on the swaying "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine." The DVD portion of CAUGHT IN THE ACT also includes behind-the-scenes footage.
DVD:15 SONGS + 3 EXCL. LIVE SONGS + BEHIND THE SCENES
Personnel: Michael Buble (vocals); Randy Napolean (guitar); Mark Small, Robert Wilkerson (alto saxophone); Frank Basile (baritone saxophone); Jumaane Smith, Bryan Lipps, Justin Ray (trumpet); Joshua Brown, Nick Vagenas (trombone); Craig Polasko (bass instrument); Robert Perkins (drums).

| | Michael Buble Call Me Irresponsible CD (2007)
Michael Buble
$10.09
Michael Buble ranks among the best of the contemporary crooners working in a classic pop-vocal style, and his 2007 album, CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE, further refines his suave, smooth style. With its finger-snapping big band arrangements, the album has its share of homage to Frank and Dino, both obvious cornerstones of Buble's music. But this isn't merely a retro exercise; the tunes, the production, and the overall feel are decidedly contemporary.
Stylistically adventurous versions of songs by Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, and Willie Nelson keep things lively, while "Everything," a Buble original, is one of the album's highlights. Still, cuts like the lead-off track ("The Best Is Yet to Come") and the old chestnut "I've Got the World on a String" will give listeners looking for some elegant, back-in-the-day pizzazz exactly that.

| | Muffs Blonder And Blonder CD (1995)
Michael Buble
$6.09
The Muffs ascended to the majors in 1993, "discovered" by the same producer as Green Day. However, the three-piece L.A. band's brand of fevered rock, as revealed on 1995 Reprise debut BLONDER AND BLONDER, while certainly not short on hooks, betrayed much more complexity than your standard pop punk act. While the simple, bouncy, sing-a-long pop of "Sad Tomorrow" should have found a home in MTV heavy rotation, and "Agony" would have deftly followed "Longview" in any alt radio set, the rest of the record subtly bobs from the Runaways scream of "Oh Nina" to the barroom rockabilly of "Red Eyed Troll" to the '50s balladry of "End It All." A diverse record, doomed to be lost in the shuffle, BLONDER AND BLONDER is nevertheless a standard of what pop punk should be, an ever-evolving cavalcade of clashing ideas.
Live Recording
The Muffs: Kim Shattuck (vocals, guitar); Ronnie Barnett (bass); Roy McDonald (drums).
Additional personnel: Jim LaSpesa, Kristen Shattuck, Steve McDonald.
