Album Review
More than any of his contemporaries, vocalist Michael Bublé has bridged the gap between standards-oriented vocal pop and more contemporary pop vocals. Having perfected the mix on his superb 2003 effort, It's Time, which found the Frank Sinatra-influenced singer covering both "I've Got You Under My Skin" and Leon Russell's R&B ballad "A Song for You," Bublé wisely doesn't mess with a good thing on 2007's Call Me Irresponsible. Once again delving into a mix of swinging big-band numbers and classic pop hits such as the wickedly hip '60s standard "Comin' Home Baby" (featuring backing vocals from Boyz II Men), the album is a breezy, stylish good time. And while such cuts as "The Best Is Yet to Come" and the laid-back title track comfortably cast Bublé as a modern-day crooner consistent with his billing, the unexpected reworkings of contemporary pop songs often make the biggest impact. To these ends, his bossa nova duet with vocalist Ivan Lins on Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and the reharmonized Willie Nelson perennial "Always on My Mind" work particularly well here, not as cheeky cabaret but as artfully crafted and devastatingly moving ballads. And it's not just the cover tunes that drive the album; on the contrary, much like the Bublé co-written ballad "Home" defined the mood of It's Time, his sparkling melodic pop original "Everything" helps make Call Me Irresponsible a truly welcome pop album by any standard. This CD was nominated for a Grammy award in 2007 as Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, and "Everything" was nominated for Best Male Pop Performance.
Customer Reviews
If You're a Fan, You Won't Be Disappointed
Michael could sing the phonebook and I would be happy. But really, this album is smooth, cool, and simply irresistible. No Michael, you are certainly not irresponsible. The Best is Yet to Come: This is a fairly faithful cover of the original with Michael's soothing and sultry sound. It Had Better Be Tonight: Another good song with a nice vocal pairing with Meglio Strasera. Okay, so there's a language barrier, but it's still beautiful. Me and Mrs. Jones: Under tones of the original but the is all Michael as it has a nice jazzy sound. I'm Your Man: Yeh, I wish. This is another nice one, touching and soulful like his rendition of Try a Little Tenderness. Comin' Home Baby: Okay, I loved Boyz II Men and wondered what happened with the group so I was more than thrilled to hear the latin and jazzy sound of the song. It starts slow and you think it'll be a classic Boyz II Men song but it becomes uptempo and wonderful. Lost: Beautiful ballad. Much like Home (my favorite MB song). Very touching and I can absolutely see what the music video would be like. Simply beautiful and simple. Call Me Irresponsible: One can understand why this was the title track. For those who have had the sheer pleasure of seeing MB in concert, you completely understand. For those who haven't this song is quintessential MB with a throw back to the Rat Pack Days! Wonderful Tonight: Another bilingual collaboration. Beautiful and easy listening. I can certainly see this song being a part of a movie soundtrack. Everything: I think this is my album favorite as it is upbeat and hopeful. Michael's voice transfers the feelings of excitement with calm intensity and passion. There are moments when the music soars and lulls, simply breath-taking. I've Got the World On a String: Eh, maybe my least favorite song on the album but then again, it's still MB's voice to a classic! It's upbeat and a toe-tapper Always On My Mind: Well, this version sure does get Willie Nelson's out of my head. This one is far more tender, soft, and sweet. Michael always knows how to sing a song and have it touch the heart strings and evoke emotions that you just didn't know were there. That's Life: Nice remake far more upbeat than most versions of this song especially with the soulful choir doing backup vocals. Dream: Kind of like Somewhere Over the Rainbow, this is a peaceful and calm song. A fitting end to another Buble classic. All in all, a well-balanced album with the old and the new. MB is known for covering the great standards and this is by far his first where there was quite a bit more collaborating and 'newer' music. I'm irresponsibly mad for Buble as I will always buy his music. His songs are the soundtrack of life!
Michael Buble is Back!
What can I say? Michael Buble has done it again! This album is awesome. Best tracks: "Call Me Irresponsible" & "Always On My Mind" This album is great. Everybody should buy it!
The most awesome voice in the world!
After downloading Everything when it came out I was all excited about Micheal's new album. After listening to it I kinda wish there were a few more upbeat and jazzy songs, but I still love this new music! He has the most soothing, smooth, beautiful voice! How can you not fall in love with this mans music? If you like Micheal Buble' you will like this album. It is worth the money. Then sit back and enjoy. Best songs on the album are The Best Is Yet To Come, Lost, Call Me Irresponsible, EVERYTHING, I've Got The World On A String and That's Life. The others are good but these six are my favorites.
