'My lawyers said don't do it': Michael Buble on new album

STORY: “I was just so excited to, to try things to, to be things to not only to, to go to places where I might have feared to go earlier in my career or my life, but I was excited to rush in to the to the challenge.”

The Canadian singer said he forcefully put himself into situations where he knew it would be scary with the idea of creating innovative music.

“When I started, the goal was to make fresh music for an audience who, who had bought my records for 20 years. And I had no idea that by the end… it was fresh for me.”

The 13-track album was released on March 25th and features assists from Paul McCartney and Willie Nelson.

“Having someone like Paul, someone like Willie, take me under their wing and give me their blessing. Wow, hopefully, one day someone will think I'm one of those ducks too.”

There are three original songs which Buble said were inspired by his family.

“We've been through a lot. You know, we have and, and I don't love to talk about it or to ever feel like I'm using it as a context or - but it's impossible for it not to be part of the perspective that I have and it just is.”

In 2016 Buble announced that his oldest son Noah, who was three at the time, had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing treatment. He has been in remission since 2017.

The music video for the lead single, “I’ll Never Not Love You” was inspired by the singers love of cinema and features romantic scenes from popular movies.

His team tried to discourage him from making the video, however he had a clear vision that included his wife, Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato.

The couple used the end of the video as a birth announcement with their 3 children.

“For me, it was less about, it was less about the what could come back financially and more about how all I could to tell the story of what I think is the greatest record of my life.”
