This Josh Groban album was very good and for anyone wanting to collect his entire works this album would be a good start.
Josh Groban is making it hard for anybody who can't say "classical crossover" without smirking to maintain an acceptable level of snobbery. Awake, his third studio disc and arguably his most personal--he co-wrote four tracks and favors his native English over Italian--boasts as many bold names as any tricked-out hip-hop disc: Dave Matthews, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Imogen Heap, and Herbie Hancock contribute in various capacities, and a slew of behind-the-scenes collaborators best known for their work in mainstream pop circles deepen the dimensions of a style widely considered claustrophobic. For all the studio doors that got opened to create Awake, though, Groban's signature sound never once slipped out to take the air; "the voice"--that hypnotic, spun-silk wonder of an instrument--is as concentrated as ever, and Awake, in addition to showing off its many splendors, serves as a vehicle for parading its versatility around. While "Un Giorno Per Noi," the deeply romantic theme to the 1968 film Romeo E Giulietta, delivers the Groban that fueled the sale of 16 million previous discs to soft-hearted fans, "Machine," with Hancock, gives up a new form of funk: dignified, classy, and surprisingly unstiff.Read full review
I decided to buy this cd after I was sent the song You are loved ( dont give up)on facebook from a friend. I have never heard Josh Groban until then and I absolutely loved the song. This prompted me to look for the cd on ebay and I bought it. The cd lived up to my expectations and I loved all the songs on it, Josh Groban has the most beautiful singing voice and everyone of his songs are excellent and I highly recommend this cd to anyone liking his music and if you hav'nt heard him before like myself buy one and listen - hes awesome !!!
