After establishing himself as the 21st century Harry Connick, Jr., young vocalist Michael Buble made his recording-debut year a prolific one, by capping it off with this five-song Christmas EP, in addition to his pair of full-length releases from earlier in 2003. Like Mr. Connick (who hadn't exactly thrown in the towel himself at that point, releasing his own Christmas album a month-and-a-half earlier) Buble aims to extend the classic Frank Sinatra-style approach to pop music well beyond the life-spans of its first-generation exponents. Accordingly, he lends his smooth-as-silk voice and tasteful phrasing to evergreens (no pun intended) such as "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" and Mel Torme's immortal "Christmas Song," atop a mixture of string orchestrations and lightly jazzy backing. To prove that the clock hasn't stopped on this sort of thing, there's an original holiday tune here as well ("Grown-Up Christmas List"), pointing the way forward for Buble's brand of Yuletide crooning.

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.
