Michael Bublé's album "To Be Loved," released in 2013, is a delightful collection that showcases his smooth, velvety vocals and charismatic delivery. Bublé blends a mixture of original songs and well-chosen covers to create an album that feels both fresh and nostalgic. The album kicks off with the upbeat and infectious "You Make Me Feel So Young," setting a lively tone. Bublé's rendition of classics like "To Love Somebody" and "Who's Lovin' You" highlight his ability to bring a modern flair to timeless standards. His original tracks, such as "It's a Beautiful Day" and "After All," co-written with Bryan Adams, show off his knack for writing catchy, feel-good tunes. The production throughout the album is polished, yet it allows Bublé's voice to shine as the central focus. The orchestral arrangements and jazzy influences complement his style beautifully, making it a treat for both fans of the crooner and newcomers alike. Overall, "To Be Loved" is a heartwarming and thoroughly enjoyable listen that reaffirms Bublé's status as a contemporary master of the classic pop and jazz genres.
