Michael Buble re-releases hit album, Crazy Love

By Steph Ratty

One year after his “Crazy Love” album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Michael Bublé is at it again with a 2-disc re-release, “Crazy Love: Hollywood Edition.”

The set consists of the original song list from the first album, but also comes with a special EP of eight additional tracks, including four live recordings.

The first song, “Hollywood,” was released with a comical music video of Bublé mimicking the looks of current musical personalities. It is an upbeat track with the underlying message to not feed on fame, but concentrate on the value of oneself. The song showcases Bublé’s smooth voice and youthful personality in a successful single that can stand on its own.

“Some Kind of Wonderful” is an up-tempo cover of Gerry Goffin’s and Carole King’s original. Bublé ventures out of his comfort zone and hits the mark, to re-creating the perfect background music for a confident walk around town.

The most beautiful and natural song on the EP, “End of May,” is sure to become a universal favorite. Bublé’s fluid voice is perfect for the romantic yet powerful song, which incorporated piano and strings so harmoniously that it can transport the listener into a state of complete relaxation. This is the perfect song to clear one’s mind of any stress and to simply enjoy the moment.

Bublé, who has been quoted as saying he likes to incorporate live songs to avoid sounding overproduced, includes new renditions of “At This Moment,” “Me & Mrs. Jones,” “Haven’t Met You Yet” and “Heartache Tonight.” Each sounds true to the original, with the added charisma that comes along with a live performance.

While the last track on the CD, “Best of Me,” is new to Bublé’s repertoire, it sounds remarkably similar to “At This Moment,” which was first heard on the original Crazy Love album. Both emphasize his unique crooning voice, but can feel slow at times.

Bublé will showcase hits and fan favorites from the “Crazy Love” and “Hollywood Edition” albums during his Crazy Love Tour this holiday season.
