Download of the Day (1/16): Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet"

I'm going to be frank; I'm not a jazz music fan. At all.

At the same time, I'm not one to ignore it's extremely significant standing in the musical sphere. Yet, when a jazz act attains any kind of mainstream success, I am completely dumbstruck. Such was the case with Canadian jazz singer Michael Buble, who just recently topped the album charts in both the UK and the United States with his latest album Crazy Love.

I was also dumbstruck by the lead single from the album, "Haven't Met You Yet". The song is a joyous uptempo pop song about the guarantees of finding love. It's a pretty close cousin to Sara Bareilles' 2008 hit "Love Song", which is certainly a good thing considering how ubiquitous the song was that year. Keeping up with the chippy and charming lyrics and production is Buble himself, delivering a jubilant, spectacular vocal performance. The whole song is a happy affair (complete with a whimsical music video set in a supermarket), and in these very tragic days, we definitely need more of that.

RATING: 8 OUT OF 10
