We’re not crazy about it

In his latest effort, Michael Buble moves away from his typical mix of big-band numbers and revamped versions of Sinatra classics. The voice of the sultry jazz singer has made millions of fans swoon worldwide, but “Crazy Love” is an odd mixture of styles for Buble.

The album begins with mellow versions of classics, such as Ray Charles’ “Georgia On My Mind” and Billie Holiday’s “All of Me,” typical of Buble’s style, but they get the album off to a slow start.

Songs like “Haven’t Met You Yet,” an upbeat pop song, and “Hold On,” a strong ballad, are the only two pleasant surprises on the album, both of which Buble co-wrote.

Though Buble’s voice is as strong and beautiful as ever, the album loses favor when “Heartache Tonight” – that’s right, the Eagles’ old country standard – is thrown in the mix.

From jazz to pop, from country to rock ballads, this album is awkwardly disjointed as Buble jumps around from genre to genre, producing an album that disappoints in every aspect.
