Michael Bubls assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ("Ive Got You Under My Skin") with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwins "A Foggy Day in London Town," "Feeling Good," "Try A Little Tenderness" and Cole Porters "Ive Got You Under My Skin." But its the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with -- apt tribute to Bubl hero Bobby Darin -- that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Hollands "How Sweet It Is," Leon Russells lovely "Song For You," with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ("Quando, Quando, Quando"s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles "Cant Buy Me Love" that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusks more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Bubl a welcome swinging jazz showcase on "The More I See of You," a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Fosters slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. -- Jerry McCulley Note: A special edition including two bonus tracks--"Dream a Little Dream" and "Mack the Knife"--is also available.
