This is HOT

Since we have an interview with Bublé in this week’s issue, I thought it appropriate to make his new CD ❤ (pronounced Love), the “This is Hot” of the week.

The Canadian singer-songwriter returned to the studio with a new perspective on life and a renewed commitment to honoring the music he has always loved.
