Saturday Flashback: Michael Bublé – It’s A Beautiful Day

“The best cheery breakup song since Cee-Lo.”

Tom: I know what you’re thinking. Bublé? Have I gone mad? Well, not really – because this isn’t him crooning some old track. It’s a very good bit of pop music with a big-band sound to it. And better than that: it’s the best cheery breakup song since Cee-Lo.

Tom: Isn’t that wonderful?

Tim: Haha, oh, it certainly is that.

Tom: A brass section that seems to be hopped up on caffeine, a traditional bassline — by which I mean, something played on a bass guitar — thumping along below it, and a major-key happy melody line about a breakup.

Tim: It’s great! It’s almost impossible not to smile when watching that. He’s just so jaunty, it’s almost infectious.

Tom: Plus, a lyric video that includes video footage! And it’s really well animated!

Tim: A nice change from what we’re used to, though I’d expect nothing less.
