'Come Fly With Me' presents the sensational Michael Buble on a deluxe CD/DVD package with the CD featuring 8 songs (new and live recordings) and the 63 minute DVD which includes live performances and behind the scenes footage. It's time to get on board and come fly with Michael Buble...

'Come Fly With Me' is the follow up to Canadian vocalist Michael Buble's 2001 self-titled album. The modern swing artist along with Jamie Cullum, Katie Melua et al. has been dubbed a founder of the 'New Ratpack' and on this release he indeed evokes the 1950's era sound of Sinatra, Martin and Davis. Jr whilst also exploring the 60's jazz sound. This edition also contains a bonus DVD.

This release includes a bonus DVD featuring backstage and interview footage, and concert performances from New York, London, Hollywood and South Africa.
As with many emerging artists, Michael Buble is still developing a distinctive style of his own on COME FLY WITH ME. Regardless of that minor detail, what Buble does know is who he is as a performer, and what he wants to do with his considerable vocal talent. Reviving tunes made famous by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley, and Bobby Darin, Buble sings each melody with a fetching blend of deep respect and fresh-faced enthusiasm. And he has got the chops to back it all up--Buble is blessed with a sleek, warm tone in the tradition of the aforementioned royalty, as well as an undeniable ability to swing. Coming out backed by a full big band with punchy arrangements is one of his secret weapons--the guy surrounds himself with many like-minded musicians of an extremely high caliber. Highlights include a lightly swaying "My Funny Valentine" and a rousing yet nuanced take on "Nice 'N Easy."

Like Harry Connick in the 1980s and '90s, Canada's Michael Buble stood apart from most of his generation in forsaking contemporary rock and pop for the swing sounds of the '40s and '50s. A Sinatra-style crooner, Buble already had plenty of performing and recording experience by the time his self-titled 2003 album broke through and made him a household name.
