Rounding out Call Me Irresponsible is Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life,” which, in Bublé’s hands, becomes a powerhouse complete with a full choir. “We’re living in really crazy times, and I wanted to say that no matter what’s happening, this person in my life is what really makes it worthwhile.” “I wrote that song about the great happiness of real love, but at the same time I was making a statement about the world,” Bublé says. Other highlight’s include two of Bublé’s original songs, including the acoustic-guitar driven “Everything,” co-written with Amy Foster-Gillies and Alan Chang (who also co-wrote Bublé’s touching hit ballad “Home” off It’s Time) and produced by fellow Canadian Bob Rock (Bon Jovi, Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Bryan Adams). “What is interesting about that track is here I am, a 31-year-old guy from Canada who’s singing a song that means so much to me with a 61-year-old man from Brazil, who’s singing in his own language but it means the exact same thing to both of us.” “I’ve always been very sentimental about that song,” Bublé says. That’s basically what it’s about.”Ī languid, emotional rendition of Eric Clapton’s ballad “Wonderful Tonight,” on which Bublé duets with Brazilian singer-songwriter Ivan Lins, whose work has been covered by everyone from Sarah Vaughn to Ella Fitzgerald follows. There is a way to end a relationship and still be there when they need you. “Sometimes relationships don’t work out because love isn’t enough, but that doesn’t mean you have to discard the person. “It’s an anthem for star-crossed lovers,” Bublé says. Then there’s a swinging, hep-cat version of Mel Tormé’s 1962 pop hit “Comin’ Home Baby,” featuring vocals from Philly soul faves Boys II Men and a sentimental, self-penned ballad “Lost,” co-written with Chang and Canadian singer-songwriter Jann Arden. He just laughed and said, ‘I wouldn’t worry too much about that.’” When he asked me why, I said because he’d written too sexy of a song and I was afraid men were going to throw their underpants at me. “I actually called Leonard and told him I was afraid of performing it live. “I always thought it was a wonderful song - desperate, sexy, and dark,” Bublé says. “We wanted it to be authentic and tell the story.” Next up is Leonard Cohen’s “I’m Your Man” from the Canadian singer/songwriter’s 1988 album of the same name. “David (Foster) brought it to me, I’d never actually heard it before,” Bublé says. Jones,” the 1972 Gamble and Huff classic popularized by soul singer Billy Paul. Then there’s the exhilarating, salsa-flavored “It Had Better Be Tonight,” written by Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini, which Bublé attacks with a hot-blooded vengeance-“another very sexy song…and edgy.” From there, he takes on “Me and Mrs. “To me, what’s different about this CD is that it has a certain raw emotion because I recorded many of these songs live in the studio.” Bublé introduces the electrifying, impeccably orchestrated set to follow with the opening track, Cy Coleman’s “The Best Is Yet To Come,” (made famous by Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and others).

It never is for Bublé, whose irrepressible spirit, engaging humor, and confident charisma once led the New York Times to call him “an entertainer who is completely at home on the stage.” His new CD, which he calls “my remark on the state of love,” contains a depth of feeling that will surprise and delight long-term fans and impress those new to his music.

As with his previous two 143/Reprise bestsellers, 2003’s self-titled debut and 2005’s multi-platinum follow-up It’s Time, Call Me Irresponsible boasts more of Bublé’s buoyant, modern interpretations of standards from a variety of eras, including songs by such greats as Leonard Cohen, Eric Clapton, Cy Coleman, Gamble and Huff, and others, as well as two self-penned originals, including the first single, the uplifting love song called “Everything.”īut it’s hardly business as usual for this Vancouver native. I wanted to be involved in every aspect because I wanted it to be conceptually beautiful.”īublé has certainly achieved success on that front.

I even ended up at the mastering session, which artists rarely attend. So I sat there from the very beginning and came up with the songs, put together the skeleton, and thought about what arrangers I would hire. “Completely, because I knew that it had to be better than the first two - that it had to show growth without alienating anyone, and that’s a tough line. Ask Vancouver native Michael Bublé how he felt going in to record his third studio album, Call Me Irresponsible, and this artist with 11 million albums sold and two Grammy nominations under his belt can sum it up in one word.
