It's November, which means that Halloween is officially over, and while that is quite depressing for some, it is quite exciting for others. For me personally, Halloween is my favorite Holiday because you get to dress up, get free candy, watch scary movies, and the history behind the Holiday is quite interesting too. However, I am that person that as soon as November hits, I am all for playing Christmas music. I feel as if it is the perfect way to start the joyful season. With this being said, I start the season by plugging my phone into my speaker and blasting Michael Bublé's "Christmas: Deluxe" album. Here are some reasons why you should join along with me.
1. Michael Bublé has one of the best sounding voices.
The whole album, whether upbeat music or slow, has this calming appeal to it. Bublé's voice sends me into a swoon every single time I listen to it.
2. His rendition of "All I Want for Christmas is You" is by far the best.
Bublé brings in a very different sound to this song. Instead of making it feel like another pop cover, he turned it into something completely soulful and magical.
3. "Blue Christmas"
"Blue Christmas" no longer sounds like a tainted love song. It now has this type of New Orleans swing about it that really brings it to life.
4. He sang a duet with Shania Twain.
Sure, Shania Twain has somewhat been forgotten about and while I am not a fan of country in the slightest, what I am a fan of is this version of "White Christmas." It is quite honestly the best combo of jazz and country.
5. Modernization of Classics.
Michael Bublé has taken all the classics and while he left bits and pieces of what we love so much about them, he turned them into something that is his own; he made the whole album absolutely magical and calm.
If you have not listened to his album, you can stream it on Spotify or even YouTube, it is truly wonderful.
