Michael Buble Crazy Love Music Review
I am by NO means a good critic. I have an inbred appreciation for music having been a musician many years ago, with many years of instruction. As a result, my tastes are rather eclectic. I know what I like, I know what I don’t like, I’m just not very good at expressing it poetically with words that scream “music critic.” So how do I do my reviews? I sit and listen to the music while I do something else – usually work. I have my blogging notebook open next to me, and when a thought pops into my head in regards to what I’m listening to, I write it down. That’s it. So while you’re not going to get flowery prose strewn about with musician’s vernacular – you ARE going to get my base opinion. Moving on… The One2One Network sent me the Michael Buble’ CD, Crazy Love, for my take. If you’ve heard of Michael Buble’ the thought that comes to mind is a modern version of the old Rat Pack classics from the likes of Frank Sinatra. And there is that feel on this CD, however, not in total. It’s really a broad spectrum of songs. The first song – “Cry me a River” – does have that Rat Pack feel. It’s a great version, and I love the opening. This song (and really the whole CD) has this really sexy sultry feel, envisioning 3 inch heels, wrap dresses, hats, stockings with garters, cigarettes in long holders, dark back rooms full of music, and sexuality holding back. When dancing was dancing, and that was a form of courtship and foreplay. Sorry for the rather graphic display, but that’s really what this CD feels like. Back when the air fairly hummed – and less was more. I tend to keep music in sections. Not Rock vs. Classical, but more along my moods. These are for when I’m depressed. These are for when I’m cleaning the house. These are for when I’m feeling sexy. These are for when I need to relax. This CD is going in the section for when I’m on the prowl. The album released on October 9th – Debuted at number 1 I believe, which is awesome. Album Tracklisting: Here are some links to take you away:
