\u201cIt sounds like a clich\u00e9 when I say this,\u201d Michael Bubl\u00e9 admits at the beginning of this week\u2019s Spotify<\/a> Under Cover podcast. \u201cBut the songs pick me, as much as I pick the songs. I think if you asked me and gave me a truth serum what I\u2019m best at or where my talent lies, I\u2019d probably say it\u2019s in the reimagining and conceptualizing how to recreate songs, probably in a very cinematic and visual way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first time Bubl\u00e9 first heard the song \u201cBuona Sera\u201d was the Dean Martin<\/a> version. \u201cDean was my favorite,\u201d he gushes. \u201cOut of all the singers, I think I felt like he was always someone who made it seem like it was effortless, even though I know it wasn\u2019t. He just happened to be an incredibly talented human being.\u201d Bubl\u00e9 concedes that while he\u2019s not Italian-American, he grew up listening to Martin, Louis Prima<\/a> and other famous Italian singers in his home. \u201cThe truth is I came from a very Italian\u2014I know I\u2019m Canadian, but a Canadian family with Italian extraction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my favorite things about today was the looseness involved,\u201d Bubl\u00e9 says of recording the classic at Spotify studios in New York. \u201cI just wanted to ask the engineers how it must be for them to be able to have some of the most iconic, intelligent acts in the whole world coming here and reimagining their stuff and having this sense of joy and getting to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n
