Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ("I've Got You Under My Skin") with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's "A Foggy Day in London Town," "Feeling Good," "Try A Little Tenderness" and Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin." But it's the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with -- apt tribute to Bublé hero Bobby Darin -- that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "How Sweet It Is," Leon Russell's lovely "Song For You," with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ("Quando, Quando, Quando"'s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk's more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Bublé a welcome swinging jazz showcase on "The More I See of You," a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Foster's slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. -- Jerry McCulley [Note: A special edition including two bonus tracks--"Dream a Little Dream" and "Mack the Knife"--is also available.]

Oh my this cd is soooooooo hot. My eardrums are smokin' and so will yours. David Foster and Humberto Gatica prove once again that their partnership in sound production has no rival for attention in my ears.
Michael Bublé and Nelly Furtado sing a sentimental samba duet that sealed my affection at track four. "Quando, Quando, Quando" is so outstanding. It starts with a gentle guitar by Heitor Pereira and spectacular flute by Dan Higgins. The echo of Nelly Furtado's voice is lovely and her voice is so compatible with Michael's. Then they sing together and her harmony with his is just incredible.
I think the tempo changes and Big-Band arrangement of "Can't Buy Me Love" show off Michael Bublé at his vocally versatile finest. "The More I See You" is another smokin' swing treat.
I was thinking at about track 8 with the saucy, latin "Save The Last Dance for Me" that there is just no way I can handle anymore musical tenderness today. And then I hear the ballad "Try a Little Tenderness" at track 9 (the piano by Randy Waldman creates mood du jour). Jochem Van der Saag's keyboard and harmonica contributions on "How Sweet it Is" are remarkable at track 10. I'm sure at that point in the disc I can't stand anymore when Chris Botti's trumpet and Michael's voice on "Song for You" reduced me to pathetic pile of pudding. I was toast - both sides.
I think this cd is even better than Michael's debut and I have to say his first cd blew me away.
I will never tire of this audio heaven. Never.

Pop vocalist of the millennium is Michael Buble, the Vancouver crooner with his latest release "It's Time", arriving near the eve Valentine's Day Buble with new material and some vintage standards...featuring an unforgettable youthful style that takes you back to the '40s, '50s and '60s...listening to every tune on this album brings back memories of Nat King Cole (one of my favorite singers of all time), Bing Crosby, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra as they were crooning favorite standards of the day...he is a cross between James Dean and Elvis Presley in appearance, but has the style and ability of Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin...Michael has the uncanny ability to nail each track with his signature style and making it his own.
Sit back and let's take a listen to the selections on this guaranteed winner..."FEELING GOOD", wonderful arrangement by David Foster, as Buble sings the orchestrated brass gives off a James Bond flavor and you're waiting for your drink...shaken not stirred..."A FOGGY DAY (In London Town)", great arrangement by Bill Holman on this classic George & Ira Gershwin tune, swingin' big band is here and alive..."YOU DON'T KNOW ME", composed and recorded by Eddy Arnold, later performed by Jerry Vale and Ray Charles, always a favorite of my wife Judy, her reaction to Michael's recording is the best yet..."QUANDO, QUANDO, QUANDO", very big hit for Englebert Humperdinck, just like the late Bing Crosby, Buble has more fun with duets and it shows with Nelly Furtado, latin arrangement by David Foster is contagious..."HOME", composed by Michael Buble, arranged by David Foster and Bill Ross is the most requested song from this album on the airwaves..."CAN'T BUY ME LOVE", jazzy arrangement by John Clayton Jr and David Foster, more than a toe-tapper, as Buble swings with a vengence..."THE MORE I SEE YOU", arranger John Clayton Jr. shows you why the late Billy May with Capitol Records was the greatest arranger for the label, Buble swings this one in the Sinatra style and you're loving every minute of it..."SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME", with a rumba beat the tempo is close to the Drifters classic arrangement, only better and Michael is having a ball..."TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS", dim the lights and pour your favorite beverage, with your favorite partner this is a lush arrangement by David Foster and Bill Ross, the lyrics tell the whole story..."HOW SWEET IT IS", the classic Motown hit from yesteryear with swingin' brass and harmonica that arranger John Clayton Jr. provides for Buble to make his entrance groove..."SONG FOR YOU", the great Leon Russell's hit, arranged by David Foster and Bill Ross with guest artist Chris Botti on trumpet is completely mesmerizing ..."I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN", look out Ole Blues Eyes, cause the Vancouver crooner is on the loose with the one and only Nelson Riddle arrangement orchestrated by Sammy Nestico courtesy of Paul Anka, not bad company for Michael to be in..."YOU AND I", composer Stevie Wonder arranged by David Foster and Jeremy Lubbock brings a tear to your eye as Michael pours his heart out, along with heartfelt lyrics and brings it home, just listen quietly and see if you don't agree...entire album has soul...this track alone is worth the price of the album.
My wife and I were fortunate enough to see Michael in a St. Louis concert, met him back stage...might add this young man made a very positive impression on all who attended that night's show...he's a first class guy and has everything going for him...couldn't happen to a nicer person...it's like second nature with his natural ability to vocalize and be a crowd pleaser is pure magic...shows why Buble has the the stuff stars are made of...he's the hottest property in the genre of "American Standards" today...as Michael warns his band, "get ready it's about to start all over again"...climb aboard this musical merry-go-round, you'll never regret it...Good Luck, Michael!

This is a terrific album, probably the singer's best yet. I forsee a big future for this young man, and have bought all of his albums. I would have given "IT'S TIME" five stars except for the problem described below.
There is one serious flaw in this album that you might want to know about: due to Warner Brothers' (the parent company of Reprise) heavy-handed anti-piracy programming, "IT'S TIME" will not play on a computer, and therefore cannot be uploaded into iTunes and recorded onto an iPod or other such MP3 player. For many people, this is the primary (and completely legitimate) way they use to listen to their CD collections - I've got over 500 albums on my iPod.
In other words, Warner Brothers' solution to the very real and serious problem of music piracy is to turn around and steal from its customers their legal right to listen to the album on an iPod or on their computer. Whether this tactic is legal or not, I feel very strongly that it isn't right, and does this excellent young singer no service, let alone his many fans.
