Following the release of his self-titled debut disc,
Michael Bublé capped off 2003 by issuing an EP of snow-covered songs that acted as a holiday postscript to his previous recordings. Although
Let It Snow doesn't shed any new light on these five
Christmas chestnuts, the combination of
Bublé's
Sinatra-lite croon and pretty arrangements creates a lovely holiday ambience that will be a cozy addition to any winter evening. The most successful song in the set is producer
David Foster's own
"Grown-Up Christmas List," which is slowly becoming a
holiday favorite thanks to its classic
standard sound and hopeful message.
Bublé's subtle version, with its delicate
orchestral accompaniment, allows the song's pretty melody to shine through like a beloved ornament on the tree. The remaining tracks offer up basic
ballads like
"White Christmas," with only the opening title track providing a mildly upbeat flavor. Until
Michael Bublé can swing his way through a full meal of
holiday songs,
Let It Snow offers a few tasty appetizers for the yuletide days. [
Reprise / WEA's 2007 reissue featured one bonus track, a live version of
"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"]
