Call Me Irresponsible - Michael Buble
I head an opinion that Call Me Irresponsible is an Canadian answer to Frank Sinatra. I agree with this opinion:Call Me Irresponsible is the latest album of Michael Buble. The singer has already gained success in recent years with albums It’s Time and Caught in the Act and singles including one of 2005’s most played radio tracks Home.
The new album mixes old standards including That’s Life, The Best is Yet To Come and the title track, with new songs such as Lost - a melancholy tribute to a break-up - and the first single from the album, Everything. I can say that Call Me Irresponsible is the wonderful trip to the past. Among the standards made popular by Sinatra in the forties and fifties - among others of the era - is the Mel Torme song “Comin’ Home Baby” which Buble’ performs with the R&B group Boyz II Men, the Eric Clapton tune “Wonderful Tonight” with Brazilian Ivan Lins with Lins singing in his native Portuguese, and Buble’ puts his spin on the hit “Me and Mrs. Jones”.
While fellow artists trying to emulate the sounds of Ol’ Blue Eyes and his gang may stick to the tried and tested formulas of Rat Pack songs, Buble’s new album departs from the crooner age, choosing classic songs that are not from the expected genre, including Me and Mrs. Jones, Eric Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight and Always On My Mind - the love song made famous by Elvis Presley. A collaboration with the harmonic Boyz II Men on Coming Home Baby may seem like an odd pairing, but it works. However, the Boyz act as mere background to Buble’s warbling. And as if That’s Life wasn’t rousing enough already, the album includes the singer pairing with a gospel choir on the track creating a truly uplifting version. Since that time Buble’ had had two platinum selling records, is a Grammy nominee, a Juno Award winner, and sold over eleven million records. The Buble factor is in a definite way of not losing the real values of the great American songbook. This singer is here to stay. We’ll be always waiting for his new material.
