Michael Buble Christmas Songs & Music
Michael Bublé is a
multi-million selling Canadian singer who recorded 4 albums before
he decided it was time to sing a complete album about his
self-professed favourite time of the year (he has also admitted
that 'Miracle on 34th Street' is one of his favourite
movies). 'Christmas' is due later this year (so watch out for our
review!) and will include several duets with the likes of country
star Shania Twain (on an upbeat version of 'White Christmas') and
latin singer Thalia. There will also be covers of 'Jingle Bells',
'Blue Christmas' and Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is
You' and a brand new song called 'Cold December Night'.
Prior to his festive
record Michael Bublé had released an EP called 'Let It Snow' which
contained 4 perennials 'Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow',
'The Christmas Song', 'I'll Be Home for Christmas', 'White
Christmas' and an original song written by the EP's producer David
Foster called 'Grown-Up Christmas List'. Bublé brought his usual
swing, albeit a lot softer than normal, to ensure the good times
pervade throughout. Oddly the title track is the weakest of the 5
with the singer sounding as if he is trying too hard to upstage
those who have performed the song before him. Thankfully, 'The
Christmas Song' is much more controlled with Bublé relaxed enough
to usher in a unique take on the classic. 'I'll Be Home For
Christmas' slows things down considerably with Bublé offering his
own unique heart-wrenching stamp on proceedings. 'White Christmas'
continues in a similar vein with a piano flecked backdrop offering
a sonic snow-falling setting. Closing track 'Grown-Up Christmas
List' may break the mould of the preceding tracks but it proves to
be the EP's highlight with the singer finally unleashing his famous
range in a emotional soaked performance.
In 2009 Michael
Bublé sang a duet with American Idol star Jennifer Hudson which
comprised of a medley of 'Baby, It's Cold Outside' and 'Let It
Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow'. The song made it on Hudson's
Christmas special and you can watch the video of the performance
below.
