Michael Buble "Crazy Love" CD Review

Michael Bublé’s upcoming release “Crazy Love” – a collection of passionate songs that embodies the deep mysteries of love sung by one of the most exciting, young (witty, handsome…we could go on) performers today. Due to overwhelming demand by his fans, his new album will now be released on Friday, October 9th instead of the original date of October 13th. He’s that amazing – fans are demanding to hear his music now!!

Singer and songwriter Michael Bublé has sold over 22 million albums worldwide. His previous album, 2007’s Grammy winning “Call Me Irresponsible” was a #1 album in over 15 countries.


His 2005 CD “It’s Time” holds the record as the longest running title to remain on the Billboard Traditional Jazz charts – a full two years. It sat in the Number One position for over 80 weeks!

He has had two #1 singles, “Everything” and “Home” which was also a #1 hit for Blake Shelton on the Country charts.

The multi-Grammy winning artist hunkered down in recording studios in LA, Brooklyn, New York and his hometown of Vancouver for the last six months to make his “ultimate record about the inevitable roller coaster ride of relationships.”


The title song is a cover of the Van Morrison gem “Crazy Love” The CD closes out with a haunting version of “Stardust” which is performed with the acapella group Naturally 7.

Joshua Bell At Home with Friends CD Review

Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell has been in the spotlight since he was 14 years old. Fourteen! Now, 20 years and 30 original albums later, Joshua has the public’s attention like no other classical violinist of his time, captivating audiences worldwide. He’s a soloist, chamber musician, orchestra leader and he’s earned countless awards and honors for his work as a concert stage performer and recording artist, including“Classical Artist of the Year” and “Classical CD of the Year” by Billboard Magazine. He’s the first musician to have a classical music video played onVH1, and he’s appeared on Sesame Street. And you know he’s big if he’s been on Sesame Street.


Joshua’s new album, At Home With Friends, will be in stores September 29 and it’s AMAZING! You see, he’s well known for holding ‘musical soirées’ at his Manhattan residence – parties with musicians, actors, comics and authors who get together just for the sheer joy of sharing their art. So with this new album, Joshua fulfilled a life-long career dream of recording a CD of instrumental and vocal duets with an amazing roster of musicians and friends.

We’re talking Regina Spektor, Josh Groban, Sting, Kristin Chenoweth, Chris Botti, and more

Info about CD:

At Home With Friends covers all of the genres, from classical to pop, bluegrass to Broadway, jazz and ethnic World Music. There are even a couple of seasonal tracks in there, just in time to celebrate the holidays.

I love old movies and love stories.

Joshua Bell’s passion for music is truly gift. I can picture my self watching him play for hours, bringing the tissues of course because that is how great he is. He makes you feel like you are in the moment feeling the music. Just like when you read a good book and feel as if you are in the story seeing everything happen, this music can place you in the moment.
