Michael Buble's New Album: To Be Loved #Review

Michael Buble is Everyone's favorite Canadian crooner and he is back again, finding his harmony while making his way through the American songbook (and looking oh-so dapper in a suit)!

These are good times for the singer, who is about to become a first-time dad. He sounds like a man in love with life. "I wrote Close Your Eyes about my wife and about the power of all the women in my life—my sisters, my mom, my grandma and all women in general. Let’s face it, where would we be without them? I Got It Easy, another original, is basically a song where I count my blessings and is a reminder to me and everyone to appreciate all the good parts of life. I’m a very lucky guy and I never want to forget it."

Upcoming TV Appearances:

• Dancing With the Stars - 4/30/13
• The Ellen DeGeneres Show - 5/3/13

"Do not think I take my success these last ten years for granted. I was anything but an overnight sensation, which inspires me to deliver big time for my fans—maybe even make some new ones this time out." says Bublé. "I labored over every song, every note and every arrangement because I can’t resist trying to make each record better than my last one."

Michael Buble brings you his wonderful voice and reintroduces you to well known titles as well as his own original songs  I love the 'It's a Beautiful Day song'.  It is upbeat, makes you want to sing along and the video is pretty good too!  I also really like 'Have I Told You Lately That I Love You'?

Emmy Rossum Sentimental Journey Album!

Sentimental Journey, which released on January 29th, is a collection of classic covers that takes us through the American Songbook. You can get it on Amazon or on iTunes.

On Sentimental Journey, the multi-talented actress and singer brings her stellar voice to songs popularized by some of the most beloved artists of the last century.

Emmy's 12-song 'passion project' is an emotional musical journey, with each song representing a month in the year.

"Each song needed to either lyrically or emotionally reflect the corresponding month," Emmy explained. "Some songs were obvious fits, like Summer Wind for June, and Pretty Paper for December. Others songs were less literal fits. I chose Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out) for September because, to me, the plaintive melody and lyric emotionally reflect the cold weather creeping in and the sense of melancholy we can get in the fall months."

Emmy's music was phenomenal.  Her voice is absolutely beautiful.  The music certainly reminds me of the 40's or 50's time period, where music was actually music.  The time and music was simplier and music was sung from the heart and with passion.  I was really surprised with the music, however, I really did not know what to expect.  I have already played it three times over and can't decide which song is my favorite. 

Sentimental Journey Track Listing:

1. “Sentimental Journey” (Les Brown, Ben Homer, Arthur Green)
2. “The Object Of My Affection” (Pinky Tomlin)
3. “I’m Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover “(Mort Dixon, Harry M. Woods)
4. “These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)” (Eric Maschwitz, Jack Strachey)
5. “(I’ll Be With You) In Apple Blossom Time” (Albert Von Tilzer, Neville Fleeson)
6. “Summer Wind” (Heinz Meier, Johnny Mercer)
7. “Many Tears Ago” (Winfield Scott)
8. “All I Do Is Dream Of You” (Nacio Herb Brown, Arthur Freed)
9. “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out” (Jimmy Cox)
10. “Autumn Leaves” (Joseph Kosma, Jacques Prévert)
11. “Things” (Bobby Darin)
12. “Pretty Paper” (Willie Nelson)
13. "Keep Young and Beautiful" (Bonus Track)

She'll also be a guest on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on February 6th, and performing a track from Sentimental Journey on the CBS Early Show on February 9th.

The Abbey Road Sessions by Kylie Minogue Review

Introducing Kylie Minogue and her newly released album 'The Abbey Road Sessions!

The Abbey Road Sessions features sixteen tracks, all radically reworked, spanning Kylie’s incredible twenty-five-year career. It was recorded in London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with Kylie’s band and a full orchestra. The album features many of Kylie’s best-known hits and previously unreleased tracks. Over all sixteen tracks, one thing becomes very clear—stripped of her high-end pop production, the emotional resonance of Kylie’s songs has never been clearer, and her voice has never sounded better.

Kylie is an amazing woman.  Besides singing, she is a breast cancer survivor and donates her time to American Cancer Society, as well as amFAR for AIDS research

 

 

 

I absolutely loved the album and Kylie's music.  Her voice is beautiful!  Of course, my favorite is still 'Locomotion'.  It was way back when and it still is now.  I had to go back to YouTube and find that video, just to bring back some of those school dance memories.  However, some of her new songs, like 'Flower' and 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' are favorites too.  Kylie has been singing and recording for the last 25 years. It has been an extraordinary career so far—60 million global album sales, multiple hit singles, global tours, and industry accolades. 

 

 

The Abbey Road Sessions Track Listing:

1. All The Lovers
