Totally Bublé (songs from the movie "Totally Blonde") (2003)

"This is the jazzy soundtrack from the 2001 film "Totally Blonde" in which Bublé had a co-starring role as a nightclub singer. It was belatedly released after the success of Bublé's self-titled debut. The film's director, Andrew Van Slee, wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on this short, energetic disc while an as-yet unsigned Bublé does his best to breathe some life into these imitation swing-style songs. As with the standards he interpreted on his debut disc, Bublé sounds in command and comfortable fronting these slight tunes, making the songs sound much more interesting than they really are. Throughout most of the tracks Bublé channels his inner Sinatra in a way that is complementary but not imitative. Although one could understand why Bublé would not want these early recordings to sit beside his stellar debut in CD bins, he shouldn't be too concerned as Totally Bublé does show what this gifted vocalist can do with even second-rate material." (Aaron Latham, Allmusic)
