Blue Skies
[ Vinyl / 12" Album ]

Ah, Seth MacFarlane. The man of many talents - writer, producer, actor, and now crooner extraordinaire. With his latest album "Blue Skies," MacFarlane takes a swing at the classic American songbook, bringing his own unique charm and wit to the timeless tunes. From the moment MacFarlane's smooth vocals hit your ears, you can't help but be transported to a bygone era of swanky nightclubs and cocktails with a twist. His rich tone and impeccable phrasing breathe new life into old favourites like "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me." But it's not all retro vibes and nostalgia. MacFarlane injects his trademark humour into tracks like "The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else," adding a cheeky wink to the proceedings. And when he duets with Norah Jones on "If I Had a Talking Picture of You," it's pure magic. Sure, MacFarlane's style may not be for everyone. Some may find his throwback sound a bit too "Family Guy goes Vegas." But if you're willing to let go of your preconceptions and just enjoy the ride, "Blue Skies" is a delightful journey through the Great American Songbook with a modern twist. So put on your best fedora, mix up a martini, and let Seth MacFarlane serenade you into the night. It may not be avant-garde, but damn if it isn't entertaining.
