"Let It Snow (2003) ... Michael Buble ... Reprise Records (2007)" October 23, 2007 65 out of 70 found this review helpful
My wife and I were fortunate enough to see Michael in a St. Louis concert, met him back stage, told us he had just recorded this album back in November of 2003 and was very proud of the result. 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.
Pop vocalist of the millennium is Michael Buble, with shades of Connick, Darin, Sinatra and Torme, all rolled into one nice neat package (and that's the plain truth). Just in time for the holidays Buble has re-released "Let It Snow!", featuring an unforgettable youthful style that takes you back to Christmas' of long, long ago --- Listening to this five track compact disc, brings back memories of Bing Crosby in "Holiday Inn", where Bing first sang the Irving Berlin classic song of these special times "WHITE CHRISTMAS".
Then we have "THE CHRISTMAS SONG (CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE)", composed by Mel Torme/Robert Wells and debuted by Nat "King" Cole (one of the greatest entertainers of all time), but Michael nails this classic tune with his own signature and makes it his very own.
"LET IT SNOW!", wonderful arrangement by Johnny Mandel, as Buble sings the white stuff is coming down in big flakes. "GROWN-UP CHRISTMAS LIST", beautiful almost music box tune written by David Foster (producer of this album), the verse brings a tear to your eye as Michael pours his heart out, this track alone is worth the price of the album. But my all time favorite popular Christmas song is "I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS", this chokes my wife up, cause when I served in the Navy couldn't be with her that one Christmas, every time she hears this song it all comes back, Buble takes the David Foster and Jeremy Lubbock arrangement along with heartfelt lyrics and brings it home, just listen quietly and see if you don't agree --- Let It Snow offers holiday greetings for the yuletide days --- The EP was reissued in 2007 with a bonus live version of the title track.
SPECIAL FEATURES: [BONUS TRACK] EP 1 Let It Snow. Let It Snow. Let It Snow [2:05] 2 The Christmas Song [4:15] 3 Grown-Up Christmas List 3:41] 4 I'll Be Home for Christmas [3:39] 5 White Christmas [3:59] [Bonus] 6 Let It Snow. Let It Snow. Let It Snow Live [2:24]
Finally a singer under the age of 50 who actually listens to the lyrics he's singing and interprets them in a unique way --- Buble has a rich, smooth, beautiful voice that gives these songs a new dimension --- And his diction...wow, there's a concept --- Listen to "Grown Up Christmas List" and you'll see what I mean --- Just in time for the holidays a true gem for any Christmas collection. Total Time: 20 mins on 6 Tracks ~ Reprise Records ~ (10/16/2007)
+ 1/2 stars...Reissue Plus a Bonus Track November 10, 2007 11 out of 14 found this review helpful
With the well deserved success of Michael Buble's major label debut in 2003, it only made sense to follow that up with a holiday release the same year. It is now being released with a bonus track--a live performance of the title track (complete with audience sing-a-long on the chorus).
Produced by fellow Canadian David Foster, the EP's six tracks feature Buble's trademark jazzy vocals and lush arrangements. If there's a criticism, it's that there isn't much variety in tempo. Except for "Let It Snow," these are all ballads. Which, if you're looking for Christmas music to snuggle with your sweetie in front of the fire, makes this the perfect choice. [Running Time - 20:08] RECOMMENDED
Let it Snow - Michael Buble November 21, 2007 10 out of 17 found this review helpful
I would never have spent $10 on a CD that only had six songs - that is a waste of time and money...I feel ripped off! Even though I like Michael Buble, I'll probably never buy another one of his for this reason.
Michael Buble "Let It Snow" May 8, 2008 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This CD is another indication that Mr. Buble is here to stay. His rendition of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" would touch the soul of the most hardened Scrooge. Michael Buble's style reminds one of Frank Sinatra with one difference: the quality of his voice is ten times better. My only complaint with this CD is that it is all too short. I would have enjoyed six more songs in this brilliant artist's voice.
it's more than just "all right" to me !!! December 4, 2007 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Michael Buble possesses so much talent that people compare him to Sinatra when he sings. Michael never misses a beat and his voice is full of passion and masculine warmth. This CD is one you need to have this holiday season!
The first track, "Let It Snow," has a lively, upbeat tempo with a great musical arrangement. The piano sounds great and the musicians bolster Michael's performance. They sound great; but Michael's vocals are squarely in the foreground. "The Christmas Song" features Michael crooning his best; and this studio track is mixed nicely--as if they even needed to do that with Michael's voice! Michael also entertains us using his wide vocal range on "The Christmas Song."
The CD could have been longer; but there are still more things to say about this valuable album. Another highlight of this CD is clearly Michael's interpretation of the melancholy classic "I'll Be Home For Christmas." Michael sings this with a mighty good piano arrangement and he never sounded better.
I also liked the final track which gives us a live recording of Michael singing "Let It Snow." Michael sings a jazzy rendition of this number and his rapport with his audience is excellent. His voice is very strong on this last number.
Overall, Michael Buble is one very special singer doing some very special numbers on this fine album. I highly recommend this album for people who enjoy great Christmastime music. You won't be disappointed!
