Frank Sinatra might be dead, but he's not gone as Canadian singer Michael Buble shoots for his crown. Described as a modern take on swing's smoothest vocalist, Buble is hitting Hong Kong for his first show to promote his latest album, Crazy Love.

If you know Buble, you'll be right in tune with his adult contemporary grooves as he covers classics from the eras of swing, big band and plain old soft rock. Crazy Love is a Van Morrison number that gets the Buble makeover into a swing ballad, while blues fans will recognise Cry Me A River, redone as a big-band jazz track.

In fact, fans of anything that was classic between the 1950s and 80s will recognise many of Buble's smooth stylings, which have won him two Grammy Awards. The 35-year-old co-wrote two of his most recent singles, Haven't Met You Yet and Hold On, while his biggest hit, Everything, was also self-penned.

Buble is largely famous for his covers, though, with classics like Fever, The Way You Look Tonight and Come Fly With Me having propelled him to worldwide chart success. If there's been a lack of Sinatra in your life, Buble could be just the guy to ease you in when he appears at the Convention and Exhibition Centre on March 11. Visit www.hkticketing.com for details.
