Michael Buble

Rating: NNN

Ever since Celine Dion producer David Foster unleashed the self-titled debut from clean-piped Vancouver crooner Michael Bubl&eacute to the tune of multi-platinum sales, adult-contemporary listeners from here to Taiwan have been itching for the follow-up. It’s Time is here. Whichever studio this was recorded at has shined up a CD so clean you could eat off it – and maybe that’s just what you’ll wanna do if swingin’ Sinatra, velvety Beatles-lite covers (Can’t Buy Me Love) and breezy salsa numbers aren’t your Venti cup of tea. They’re not mine, but I’ve gotta give Bubl&eacute’s latest exercise in easy listening due props for unravelling my sore brain after a couple of days spent listening to that Fiery Furnaces EP.
