Michael Buble – Crazy Love
| 1 Comment | by
This is Canadian singer Michael Buble’s fourth studio album. The album is according to Buble himself the “ultimate record about the inevitable roller coaster ride of relationships”. Right from the first song, a cover of Julie London’s Cry me a River, the album swings between introspective balladry and exuberant pop. Buble has revamped several classics and has also penned two new songs, “Haven’t met you yet” and “Hold on”. There is also a guest spot from Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.

Pet Shop Boys – Christmas
| No Comments | by
Pet Shop Boys end 2009 with an interesting holiday release. Christmas offers up a couple of cover tracks, a couple of reworked originals, and a club remix.
First off is a new version of “It Doesn’t Often Snow At Christmas”, a track originally released in 1997 as a fan-club exclusive. This new version receives a bit more orchestral fill and overall production. In typical PSB style, it’s more cheeky than sentimental, but it is a fun track. The style is classic, very-era disco pop, and finds the Boys doing the holiday release thing without actually selling out.
