It’s time for yet another music review (this has been a fun week!)! This time it’s Michael Bublé’s latest release, Crazy Love. All about the crazy rollercoaster ride that is love, Crazy Love is filled with new originals like the fun single, “Haven’t Met You Yet,” as well as covers of classics like “Georgia On My Mind” and the title track “Crazy Love.”
To be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect when I cracked open this cd. Despite his irresistible good looks, I somehow have not paid much attention to Michael Bublé. I’ve heard his name thrown around a lot over the last few years bus still managed to somehow pass him by.
Thanks to the One2One Network, I finally got a chance to discover what Mr. Bublé is all about and let me tell you, I now understand the craze! While I’m not a huge fan of jazz music, I found myself really enjoying his smooth voice. He conveys so much emotion with his voice that you can almost hear him smiling through the lyrics at times. I’ve actually found it to be a perfect cd to listen to at work over the last week. For some reason it seems just perfect for a cold winter day when all you want to do snuggle up in a warm sweater. I really enjoyed the cover songs, but I also found myself tapping along to his originals. “Haven’t Met You Yet” has quickly become a new favorite. If you haven’t heard it yet, check out the video below!
Crazy Love, released earlier than originally planned due to fan demand, is in stores now. For more information on Michael Buble, check out www.michaelbuble.com or become a fan on Facebook.
An advance copy of Crazy Love was provided by One2One Network for review purposes.
May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
I’ve been a big fan of Brandi Carlile since I first heard her self-titled debut album way back in 2006. I gave the album a listen based on a friend’s recommendation and her soulful voice pulled me in right away. She’s one of those artists that you hear on the radio and you know exactly who is singing to you after only a few notes. Since I was already a fan, I was thrilled to be given the chance to review an advance copy of Brandi Carlile’s new album from One2One.
Brandi’s new album, Give Up The Ghost, bringsa matured sound with just a little bit of that country twang that I’ve come to love from her. From the wistful “Dreams” to the heartbreaking “Before It Breaks” the album does not disappoint. This album also brought with it opportunities for Brandi to collaborate with several amazing artists including Elton John, who sings with her on the upbeat “Caroline” (that I can’t seem to get out of my head). If you haven’t heard it yet, I highly recommend that you get yourself over to iTunes or your music store of choice and pick up a copy.
This week’s I ♥ Faces photo challenge theme it “Excited!” and I’m really excited about that! Ok, so that was cheesy, but for once I have a perfect picture for the theme of the week. Last Friday I picked the kids up early from day care and headed to the park (camera in hand of course!). It was chilly, but sunny, and I figured it was probably one of the last chances we would have before the weather gets terribly cold. The kids had a blast and it was probably the most relaxing hour I had all week. Plus, I got some great photos of the kids that I’m really happy with as an added bonus. I’m so glad I took the time out to enjoy the day with them.
This photo was taken on the swings. Evie was laughing and smiling the entire time she was swinging. It has always been her favorite thing to do at the park. I only wish I had grabbed her some gloves. Her poor little hands were so cold!
This was a fun challenge because kids are always excited about something, right? Make sure you check out some of the other excited photos over at I ♥ Faces!
It’s another break week over at I ♥ Faces so this week participants are posting photos of their favorite things. I thought this would be an easy subject, but I had a really hard time narrowing it down. Plus, I left off two of my most used favorite things – my laptop and my iPhone! Oh well, here are the rest..
My goofy son, who makes me laugh every single day.
My daughter, who changed me in ways I never would have expected.
My husband, who loves me unconditionally and gave me the two greatest gifts ever.
Making things with my hands, whether it be knitting, crocheting, sewing, or anything else. This top I made for my daughter is one of my all-time favorites.
My camera. She needs an upgrade, but has filled me with the desire to learn more about photography.
