Right off the bat, Michael Buble has you in his corner just because you know people have been calling the poor guy "Bubble" all his life (keep that accent on the second syllable, folks). Nomenclature aside, Buble's debut album positions him as something of a Harry Connick, Jr. for the 21st century. His husky croon gives him a bearing beyond his tender years, and in fact his Sinatra-phrased, pop-jazz style bears strong echoes of Connick's singing. Accordingly, the production leans heavily on the updated swing of chestnuts like "Fever" and "Come Fly With Me," but that's only part of the story.
As a modern song stylist, Buble digs into the standards of a more contemporary songbook as well. George Michael's jazzy ballad "Kissing a Ballad" has been a standard-in-waiting for some time, and a version of the Bee Gees' soulful ballad "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" features a guest turn by Barry Gibb himself. And there are worse things that could happen to Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life" than to be given the big-band treatment. It's refreshing to hear the debut of a young singer who's simply applying a strong voice and style to quality songs instead of cynically treading the teen-pop treadmill.

Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - [T]he smooth-voiced Canuck has few rivals when it comes to carrying the torch currently held by Tony Bennett.

      Michael Buble ECD is Tremendously RatPack-ish

    Im giving Michael Buble's 'Michael Buble' a 5/5 rating even though I do think its inferior to his latest album "It's Time"... how does that work? Well I would actually rank "It's Time" as better than 5/5!

    The mark of Michael Buble is his strong, crisp voice that translates so well across genres and sounds. The mark of "Michael Buble" is the album's throwback style - from Moondance to Come Fly With Me - Buble takes on some of the great songs ever produced or sang... and plants his own style and sound on it. The album is fantastic in the foreground and also plays nicely as background music for parties or dinners.

    Excellent and highly recommended!

    I've heard a lot of his music in movies and wanted to find some albums with those songs that caught my attention. This album is awesome. Romatic, funny and just great music with a person who has a great voice.

    Would recommend to others for sure.

    This is a great CD of Michael Buble. I don't think there is a single song I don't enjoy hearing. I also have It's Time and Call Me Irresponsible. I think they are all very comparable.
