Michael Buble To Be Loved Album Review

 

Everyone's favorite Canadian crooner is back!   Michael Buble is finding his harmony while making his way through the American songbook.  He also looks oh so dapper in a suit. "I want to take you on a wonderful journey about love—all different kinds of love," Michael says. "The album swings big time: it rocks, it’s soulful, it’s happy, sometimes a little sad. It’s romantic, it’s yummy, and it’s heartfelt."  To Be Loved, out now, finds the Grammy winner covering songs by Frank Sinatra, the Bee Gees, Jackson 5, Elvis Presley, Van Morrison, and more.  In the mix of golden standards are four original songs co-written by Bublé, dipping into his personal life for inspiration.  "Do not think I take my success these last ten years for granted. I was anything but an overnight sensation, which inspires me to deliver big time for my fans—maybe even make some new ones this time out." says Bublé. "I labored over every song, every note and every arrangement because I can’t resist trying to make each record better than my last one."   These are good times for the singer, who is about to become a first-time dad.  He sounds like a man in love with life. "I wrote Close Your Eyes about my wife and about the power of all the women in my life—my sisters, my mom, my grandma and all women in general.  Let’s face it, where would we be without them? I Got It Easy, another original, is basically a song where I count my blessings and is a reminder to me and everyone to appreciate all the good parts of life.  I’m a very lucky guy and I never want to forget it."

My favorite track on the album is To Love Somebody.  I have been listening to the album over and over.  I have always loved Michael Buble but this is my favorite album from him so far!   I have included some links for you to check out some music videos!
