Crazy Love

Michael Bublé's first CD in two and a half years, 'Crazy Love' features two original songs, along with his original takes on 11 standards from various eras.

The multi-Grammy winning artist hunkered down in recording studios in LA, Brooklyn, New York and his hometown of Vancouver for six months to make his "ultimate record about the inevitable roller coaster ride of relationships." The first single is "Haven't Met You Yet," while additional tunes on the album include "Cry Me a River," "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You," "Georgia On My Mind" and "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" which was performed with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings. 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.

"I started this record knowing I was going to record it differently than my previous ones. I dug way deeper and was more introspective on this one. Basically, I sang the truth - made each song autobiographical - and you can definitely hear the difference. I went back to the way my idols made their records. I wanted an organic feel - so people could feel like they were in the studio with me. The musicians and I all sat in the room, recorded it right from the floor and we let the sounds all come together and bleed into one another. It's not contrived. Not too perfect. It just feels really good," commented Bublé on the recording process for 'Crazy Love'.
