During his Thursday (12.04) interview for the Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast, Michael Bublé surprised his fans by revealing that he’s is working on a country music album, adding:
“I don’t even know if I’m supposed to talk about this. I love country music, and I have loved country music my whole life. I went to Nashville, I have a producer named Dann Huff… and I have made a love letter to country music.” “It’s old-school, it’s not like, modern, it’s my interpretation. I have never had an experience that has been better musically. I am so excited to put out this record – I don’t know if 10 people are gonna love it, but I don’t care.”
Inspired by Kelsea Ballerini, Blake Shelton, and Reba McEntire, his fellow coaches on The Voice, the 50-year old singer/songwriter added:
“I feel like I’ve earned the right to make a beautiful record,” but when asked about the project’s release date, Michael admitted it won’t be available for some time, “I just know that it’s so good,” he smiled. “It’s not even ready, I haven’t even finished it. But I’m telling you, this one is so special for me. It is so beautiful.”
Reflecting on his love of winter holiday music, the Canadian-born crooner’s seventh studio album, Christmas, remains one of the best-selling festive worldwide full lengths, about which he said “I’m Michael Bublé, and I’m not gonna lie. We should start listening to Christmas music in June. It would be great for my streaming revenue,” before naming I’ll Be Home for Christmas, recorded by Bing Crosby in 1943, as his favorite track. “What a beautiful, beautiful song. I think it’s one of the most well-crafted songs ever. It’s so beautiful.”
