CD - Michael Buble: To Be Loved


Michale Buble has redeemed his lazy, cash-cow Christmas re-release last year with, To Be Loved, his eighth album.

Not fully redeemed, however, as the record features just four original songs and ten covers, but not the Rat Pack style that suits him so well- he's paired up with Bryan Adams and actress, Reese Witherspoon, among others.

Buble seems to be veering steadily away from his niche selling point with each new release, leaving him languishing in no-hits-land between smooth lounge crooner, as we all knew and some loved him way back when, and faceless radio pop hit maker.

His fan base will surely diminish further with this new perfectly crafted pop album, leaving behind the, marginally higher brow, housewife brigade who tuned his velvety tones over civilised ladies' nights in, and also failing to capture the attention of younger audiences who like their pop stars six-packed and foul-mouthed.
