| Michael Bublé New CD “Crazy Love” "Crazy Love, " Michael Bublé's first CD in two and a half years featuring two original songs along with his always original take on 11 standards from various eras is scheduled to be released this Fall, October 13th, it was confirmed today by 143/Reprise Records. The multi-Grammy winning artist hunkered down in recording studios in LA, Brooklyn, New York and his hometown of Vancouver for the last six months to make his "ultimate record about the inevitable roller coaster ride of relationships." The first single, "Haven't Met You Yet, " written by Bublé (with Alan Chang and Amy Foster) is scheduled to be released to radio on August 31st. Additional tunes on the album include "Cry Me A River, " "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You, " "Georgia On My Mind" and "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" which was performed with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings. The title song is a cover of the Van Morrison gem "Crazy Love." The CD closes out with a haunting version of "Stardust" which is performed with the a cappella group Naturally 7. The album was produced by David Foster, Bob Rock and Humberto Gatica. "I started this record knowing I was going to record it differently than my previous ones. I dug way deeper and was more introspective on this one. Basically, I sang the truth - made each song autobiographical - and you can definitely hear the difference. I went back to the way my idols made their records. I wanted an organic feel - so people could feel like they were in the studio with me. The musicians and I all sat in the room, recorded it right from the floor and we let the sounds all come together and bleed into one another. It's not contrived. Not too perfect. It just feels really good, " commented Bublé on the recording process for "Crazy Love." Singer and songwriter Michael Bublé has sold over 22 million CDs worldwide. His previous CD, the Grammy winning "Call Me Irresponsible" (2007) was a number one album in over 15 countries. His 2005 CD "It's Time" holds the record as the longest running title to remain on the Billboard Traditional Jazz charts - a full two years. It sat in the Number One position for over 80 weeks. He has had two Number One singles, "Everything" and "Home, " which was also a Number One hit for Blake Shelton on the Country charts. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Jazz News :: home page |
