BaBalu is the debut
studio album by Canadian singer Michael Bublé
. It was released independently by Bublé in 2001.
Background
Bublé stated that his interest in singing jazz and swing standards stems from his listening to old
Junkie XL, released as a single and also used in the movie Spider-Man 2
. "Spider-Man" is misspelled on the original album packaging, omitting the hyphen.
Inspiration
The title, BaBalu, refers to the
Babalú-ayé", an orisha or deity in the Santería religion.[3][4] The album title informally written as Babalu is often seen written as BaBalu because on the album art, the second B is also capitalized. The Vancouver night club and lounge, BaBalu, after which the album is named, was also written with the second B capitalized.[2][5]
