“Crazy Love” was released on October 6.

After Michael Bublé released popular singles, like “Home” and “Lost,” he has released another album that is directed in the same direction of his past success.

He has returned to the music scene again by releasing his latest studio album on October 6 titled “Crazy Love.”

The album has been classified as jazz, adult contemporary and traditional pop.

“Crazy Love” has several editions such as the standard edition, exclusive fan edition, Amazaon.com special edition, and iTunes Deluxe edition.

The first single that kicks of the album is “Haven’t Met You Yet.” It was a combined collaboration of songwriting from Alan Chang, Amy Foster-Gilles and himself.

The song started with a good combination of jazz piano chords, a soft snare drum, some strings as background and later accompanied by vocals.

At the chorus of the song, extra instrument such as strings and stronger jazz drum pattern being added to the song. Trumpet sounds add to the music as well as a fade-out effect, adding to the dramatization of its style.

Another song that is pretty interesting is a cover version of the song “Cry Me a River.” It was originally written by Arthur Hamilton, and first recorded by Julie London.

The song is being covered hundreds of times such as Joe Cocker, Davy Graham, Susan Boyle and many more.

No doubt, the cover song is a highlight on the album. The song started with a strong orchestra that mainly consists of various strings instruments.

During the verse of the song it was reduce to just strings instruments. Once it reaches the chorus part, some soft jazz drums are being accompanied with violins.

Another song that is featured and is a cover song is “Georgia on My Mind.” It was originally written by Hoagy Carmichael, Sturat Gorrell. It was an official song for US State Georgia.

The vocals throughout the entire album are soulful with a baritone voice and the lyrics of the tracks are also meaningful with good song structure and music production.

This will be another successful album for him and a nice modern selection for jazz and soft rock fans today.
