Michael Bublé Channeling Michael Jackson

(22-2-2013) On his upcoming record Michael Bublé (37) will take on the challenge of being soulful like Michael Jackson. The Canadian singer is currently preparing for the release of his new album 'To Be Loved'. He took a different musical direction with his new tunes and is happy that he finally sang songs in the way he has always dreamed of.

"[I am channeling my] favourite artist in the world, Michael Jackson... this record I felt like I finally didn't care. I would allow myself to challenge myself to go to a place that was probably too scary for me to go before because I was afraid of what people would think about a white boy singing this stuff."

Bublé believes listeners will realise that he put his heart and soul into 'To Be Loved' and is extremely proud of his work.

"I love this record. I think it's a very special record, it's probably my best."
