Description

Michael Buble's #1 album – To Be Loved – is getting the deluxe treatment with three extra tracks and alternate artwork.

The singles released from the album so far are : ‘It's A Beautiful Day', ‘Close Your Eyes' and most recently ‘After All' (feat Bryan Adams).

The album features covers of some great songs including ‘You've Got a Friend In Me' made famous by Randy Newman for the hit animated film Toy Story and ‘Something Stupid.'

Michael has 4 tracks featuring special guest performers including previous album favourites Naturally Seven and The Puppini Sisters and new features with superstars Bryan Adams and Reese Witherspoon.

The album was produced by Bob Rock, best known for his work with Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Metallica and Bon Jovi.

Review:
Vocalist Michael Bublé's 2013 studio album, To Be Loved, is a slick and classy Bob Rock-produced affair that follows up his hit 2011 holiday album, Christmas, and once again showcases the Canadian crooner's take on swinging pop music. Most longtime Bublé fans will have a sense of what to expect here and, in that sense, should be quite pleased with the album. As with previous Bublé releases, To Be Loved finds the vocalist tackling a handful of American Popular Song standards and some more contemporary pop covers. This time around, Bublé even peppers the album with a few very vintage ‘60s soul-sounding numbers. To these ends, Bublé kicks things off with a brightly swinging take on “You Make Me Feel So Young,” turns in a neo-soul version of the Bee Gees “To Love Somebody,” and digs deep into Smokey Robinson's “Who's Lovin’ You.” Also adding flavor here are a few guest appearances including duets with actress Reese Witherspoon, Bryan Adams, and the Puppini Sisters. As with Bublé's last few albums, he gets some co-writing credits, with songs like the sunshine pop-sounding, 'It's a Beautiful Day," and the atmospheric orchestral ballad, “I Got It Easy,” registering as two of his best originals. Ultimately, To Be Loved isn't just a perfect showcase for Bublé's voice, it’s also one of his most diverse and enjoyable albums.
