It’s almost mythological: Michael Bublé’s career breakthrough came when Michael McSweeney, associate to former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, saw his performance at a business party. McSweeney complimented Bublé’s performance, so the singer gave him a demo, which McSweeney in turn passed along to Mulroney and his wife. Bublé was then invited to sing at the wedding of Mulroney’s daughter, where he was introduced to David Foster, a multi-Grammy Award-winning producer and Warner Bros. record exec, who signed Bublé and produced his debut album of standards, making him rich and famous. We’re pretty sure there should follow some intrigue involving the deposed king’s daughter asking a favor of the newly wealthy and influential court jester, but until that happens, enjoy “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow”, from the jester’s holiday EP.
