Michael Buble, It's Time
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.]

- The New Sinatra
- Okay when I first got this album, I was not incredibly excited. I thought it would be really slow, bland, and boring songs that would put me to sleep. However I was proven wrong. His voice is incredible and is quite close to the likeness of Pop legend Frank Sinatra. However at the same time he manages to keep his own signature style that makes… More reviews
- Fascinating new singer
- "It's Time" is my third Michael Buble CD and I will eventually buy all of them. He is the most exciting male singer in years. He's unbelievably sexy in his interpretations. I got turned on to him by Glenn Beck, who suggested buying his latest "Crazy Love." Since I am such a fan of Beck's I took his suggestion and am very happy I did. He's been on Glenn Beck's show… More reviews
