Michael Bublé - With Love

All Music Guide

One of the top crooners to emerge during the early 21st century, Michael Buble's romantic vocals and swinging approach are at times reminiscent of Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin without too closely copying either of them. This special collection, put out by Hallmark Cards prior to Valentine's Day 2006, collects together eight songs from Buble's albums of 20032005. The emphasis is on love songs (not too surprisingly), mixing together vintage standards with a few relatively newer songs that are only several decades old. Accompanied by string orchestras and rhythm sections, Buble sounds quite warm and lightly swinging throughout. The relatively brief With Love, which is sure to become rare, is an excellent introduction to Michael Buble's singing.
