To Be Loved

*To Be Loved*, mixes big production covers—including “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from *Toy Story* and “Have I Told You Lately That I Love You”—with originals like the lead single, “It’s a Beautiful Day.” Add in guests Bryan Adams, Naturally 7, The Puppini Sisters, and actress Reese Witherspoon (“Something Stupid”) and *To Be Loved* is like a jaunty musical/variety show hosted by the impeccable showman Michael Bublé.
