THIS fine young man has a great voice for his tender years and being just 25, he has an amazing future ahead of him.

He makes a great start with this self-titled offering, with a production quality and finished product which more established artists would be proud of.

Mr Bubl, pronounced boo-blay, is breathing new life into the big band genre, which will hopefully make it more accessible to youngsters as well as their parents.

The highlight is definitely Come Fly With Me, with a confidence and purity to his voice that is so reminiscent of Old Blue Eyes himself.

Other oldies are given a new lift, including Put Your Head on My Shoulder and The Way You Look Tonight.

But thrown into the mix are some classic modern songs, if you'll excuse the oxymoron. There is a superb rendition of George Michael's Kissing A Fool, which actually makes you stop what you're doing.

You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine is sweetly soulful.

There are one or two cheesy moments - Fever is not great and Crazy Little Thing Called Love is positively pub singer-esque.

But this is a perfect album for those chilly winter days when you should grab your faux fur throw and snuggle down with a bottle of wine/chocolates/a loved one.
