It’s common knowledge that baby-faced crooner Michael Bublé enjoys borrowing other people’s songs for a little Sinatra-esque cover version, but has the 34-year-old boy next door taken to borrowing album covers as well? That’s what the Smashing Pumpkins are suggesting and it looks like they may have a case (against the art director perhaps).
Sure, Corgan and company aren’t taking it too seriously, but they’re not afraid to tip off the blogosphere, via the official SP site: “International pop artist Michael Buble has a new record in stores now,” a news bulletin reads, “but the art direction seems a bit… familiar.”
Check out the photo mashup of Billy Corgan’s 2005 solo effort The Future Embrace and Bublé’s brand new disc Crazy Love above or here and, as the official SP site says, “you be the judge.”
