A
CD Recommendation
from Yvette
Performer name: Michael
Bublé
CD Title: Michael
Bublé
Genre(s): Jazz
Your own words on why you're recommending this CD: Aside
from the fact that David Foster
produces his work, that should be enough reason for my liking his music. Of course, although his newest release was
just added to my music library last weekend, I haven’t really heard it
enough times to recommend it yet, although I did like what I’ve heard
thus far. I will openly admit that every
time I watch ‘Two Week’s Notice’ with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant, I
hear Michael’s crooning of ‘Come Fly With Me’ in that film, which
instantly puts me in a wonderful mood. Perhaps
I’m partial to it because I am married to a private pilot, but there is
something really grand about that song. It
is no question that the soothing sounds of Michael’s vocals and his
ability to present songs is really remarkable. Although
I will be the first to say that I am not a huge fan of Jazz, and this
review is probably not typical of most Jazz fans or their preferences,
I’m just recommending it because of the ‘feel good’ aspects of it. It’s a great CD to listen to on a rainy
afternoon. There is something very catchy
and soothing to his renditions and melodies. Not
to mention his version of ‘Moondance’ just gets under my skin (in a
good way) and stays there. It’s a
toe-tapping good time CD with a lot of jazzy instrumentals that just
puts me in the mood to dance. At the same
time, ‘Kissing a Fool’ is a great track to play when trying to create a
romantic atmosphere. Overall an
interesting blend of old melodies and new styles.
