Music reviews of Michael Buble

Music Review: Young At Heart
Rating: 3 Stars

There's an old, wonderfully delicious tale that's gone around for years that whilst a very young singer, trying to establish a name for herself, Barbra Streisand was appearing at a local Manhattan nightclub called the Bon Soire Club. Upon catching her act one evening a local newspaper music critic simply wrote in the following days paper, " Barbra Streisand, singer. File it and forget it. " With that in mind I must say that listening to Michael Buble's freshman disc I am sadly reminded of the critic's rather brusque remarks....and although I don't find myself in complete agreement with that harsh review I am disappointed in Mr. Buble's freshman disc.

But while many of Mr. Buble's fans will think me 'wrong-headed' as well I must admit to this cd being a bit of a letdown. While there's certainly little wrong in Michaels's delivery, for the most part, much of what comes across is a singer who is still seeking some direction in his career. And while kudos should go to Paul Anka ( who if I understand correctly 'discovered the younger vocalist ) unfortunately that may be part of it's downfall as well. The disc at times does have all the earmarks of a young singer being jostled into a certain Las Vegas self-styled lounge act. And for that I place the blame on Mr. Anka as well, a man who (musically speaking) seems caught in some type of ultra-lounge/Holiday Inn time warp! Add to that is production being overseen by David Foster, a man who subscribes to the theory that " too much is never enough " when producing discs for Whitney Houston or the Queen of bombast Celine Dion, and unfortunately you can see that our poor Mr. Buble never stood much of a chance. Sublty is simply not the order of the day here and most tracks are arranged, to one degree or another, as simply over the top the height of schmatlz. Not unlike Linda Eder, who sadly subscribes to the singing to 'back of the bleachers 'mentality while displaying her craft, why does it seem almost pathologically necessary to torpedo a young singers freshman disc with songs that, for the most part, are the height of kitsch and even delivered with an almost kareoke-style appeal. Do the producers feel that todays youthful music lovers ( which I guess this is who the disc is designed for ) can only be appeased with tracks that are by their very nature beat them over the head with a certain 'gooey sentimentality' that comes across as forced? And yes, once again, we have inevitable comparisons made regarding Mr. Sinatra and how this young singer reminds us just so much of a young Frank. Comparisons that I am subjected to at least two or three times a year when any young performer releases a disc of standards. Simply by virtue of using some of Mr. Sinatra's past arrangements does not a classic vocalist make.

Overall, if there is any issue to made with Michaels disc it is simply that in an effort to appeal too a younger audience ( and one who may not understand the intracacies in arranging an album in a subtle yet understanding manner, i.e. Nelson Riddle ) we find this young singer virtually all over the musical map ( Queen, Van Morrisona and Sinatra! ) and all the while taking each song and making them each sound like a kareoke party gone bad. And for that I place the blame on the producers of this disc not on our young singer. It would actually do Mr. Buble nicely if he did sit down and truly listen to Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and other classic singers of that genre. If you're going to sing standards you might as well learn from the best. And although I do look forward to Mr. Buble's next disc, lets just hope he can find a producer/arranger who understands that sometimes " less is more. "

Description of Michael Buble

CD > POPULAR MUSIC > ROCK
Pop's rush to raid the cradle continues with this promising debut by 25-year-old Canadian singer Michael Bublé. And while the young vocal star's good looks are smart enough for a boy band, his muse seems to have sprung from a more sassy and compelling musical era. Mentored by Paul Anka (whose '50s hit "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" is covered in dreamy, cabaret fashion here), Bublé sings in the orbits of Darin and Sinatra, covering swing epoch gems ("Come Fly with Me," "The Way You Look Tonight," "That's All") and rock era standards (Van Morrison's "Moondance," "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" by the Brothers Gibb, Queen's "Crazy Little Ting Called Love") with equal aplomb. David Foster's production is typically slick and played to the back row of the bleachers, but it's informed by smart contexts provided by such arrangers as Johnny Mandel, Randy Waldman, and Mike Melvoin. If the choices of material are sometimes staid and predictable, they also give the singer a crucial framework for building toward something more challenging; his is a bright future. --Jerry McCulley
