Michael Buble preps for 'Crazy Love' release

Michael Buble will mix new material with remade standards on the forthcoming "Crazy Love," the singer's first new album in more than two years.

Set for an Oct. 13 release, "Crazy Love" combines two original songs with 11 Buble-covered standards, including "Cry Me A River," "Georgia On My Mind," "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" and "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)," among others. One of the new tracks and the album's first single, "Haven't Met You Yet," which was co-written with Alan Chang and Amy Foster, is scheduled to hit airwaves Aug. 31.

Buble recorded the new album in studios in LA, Brooklyn and Vancouver with the help of producers David Foster, Bob Rock and Humberto Gatica.

"I wanted an organic feel so people could feel like they were in the studio with me," Buble explained in a press release. "The musicians and I all sat in the room, recorded it right from the floor and we let the sounds all come together and bleed into one another."

"Crazy Love" follows the Grammy Award winner's 2007 album "Call Me Irresponsible," which topped The Billboard 200 in 2007.
