"It's A Beautiful Day" is the first single from Michael Bublé's upcoming sixth studio album, "To Be Loved". It's an uptempo song with pop overtones. Heavily recalling his previous hit, "Just Haven't Met You Yet", "Beautiful Day" showcases everything we love about Michael Bublé. The song is fun, happy and cheerful, with lyrics that describe the end of a relationship without the sadness. I thought the song had a strange intro, with music reminiscent of a version of Jingle Bell Rock I've heard somewhere. Within seconds though, the song pulls you in and makes you want to sing along.
"It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling!" goes the chorus, lifting your spirits and putting a smile on your face. The sunny feel of the song makes you want to take a stroll through a park and whistle as you go.
Bublé's vocals are flawless, as always. His soft, smooth vocals shine, going into his upper register occasionally, but still sounding perfect throughout. I'm yet to find fault with any of his performances. The only minor gripe I have with this song is that comes across sounding a little to processed. Let me put it this way: it wouldn't be out of place in a bubbly TV commercial for some kind of breakfast food. Also, excuse the minor autotuning, which isn't really necessary, but isn't really noticeable either.
Overall, "It's A Beautiful Day" is a great song and is likely to be a big hit for Bublé. It's been a while since we've heard anything original from Mr. Bublé and fans are going to eat this song up. It's original, mainstream, pop-oriented and makes you feel good. In other words, a perfect first single.
