I was really excited to received the new album by Michael Bublé, entitled
To Be Loved. There is just something about his voice!
This album has a mixture of old
Sinatra-esque standards, a few Motown classics, with some adult
contemporary numbers thrown in.
Canadian Michael
Bublé has sold more than 45 million albums worldwide.
He's also been awarded three Grammys. "To Be Loved" debuted at number
one on the Billboard 200 charts, making it Bublé's fourth consecutive
number one album. SCORE!!!
Michael
Bublé says this album came out of a place of deep contentment in his
life, and it shows. The songs give off the vibe of a man in
love, happy in his marriage, and looking forward to the birth of his
first child.
I really enjoyed the way Bublé
covered "Who's Loving You?", a tune penned by Smokey Robinson. It's been
covered by not only Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, but also The
Temptations, The Supremes, and possibly most notably by the young
Michael Jackson, when he was still a part of the Jackson Five. I liked
Bublé's treatment of the tune a lot, but I fell in love with it when I
listened to this live performance of it, recorded in the New York
Subway.
I'd love to see Mr. Bublé cut loose even more in
the future, and pull the music out of the depths of who he is, with the
passion and soul that you see here.
