Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Awake, classical-pop sensation Josh Groban's third studio album, is arguably his best yet. The virtuoso baritone covers another erudite selection of songs, once again notable for their drama, romance and emotional resonance. Produced by Guy Sigsworth and David Foster (among others), the album begins with a rousing rendition of "Mai" (sung in Italian) and the recent single "You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)", both of which display not only Groban's justifiably famous vocals but also a fuller orchestral sound that contrasts with previous piano-led work. Other potent examples of Groban's engaging performance style are "Un Giorno Per Noi," the wistful theme to the 1968 film Romeo E Giulietta, "L'Ultima Notte" and "Solo Por Ti". Perhaps more interesting from a creative point of view are the collaborative songs that appear towards the end of the album. The short but superlative "Lullaby" and the emotive "Weeping" feature the distinguished voices of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, while the surprisingly funky "Machine" reveals the influence of its collaborator, the jazz-funk legend Herbie Hancock. Despite these notable embellishments, the key focal point remains – and will likely always remain - Groban's lush, hypnotic voice. --Danny McKenna

AWAKE!,
By Margosh (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Awake [CD + DVD] (Audio CD)
This will rate as one of my best album/CD's ever (and as I have been around for a while I do have quite a few!). I have all Josh Groban's CD's and can call myself a true Grobanite but I waited with some trepidation for this new CD not knowing where Josh would take us and which direction he would head. I was privileged to be at The BBC2 live broadcast at the Mermaid recently and hear the premier of some of these songs. This is an outstanding CD. The 'Special Edition' with 2 additional tracks and DVD takes my breath away. I cannot recommend this highly enough - some new directions for JOsh but they really work.
If you are interested enough to be reading these reviews I would say 'buy the CD/DVD'. Josh is a great guy and his voice takes you to another place. A young man with a huge natural talent. Absolutely 5 stars.

Extremely good value again.,

This review is from: Awake [CD + DVD] (Audio CD)
I became a fan of Josh's having seen him perform on Classic FMTV. He has a beautiful voice and this album, like his others consists of songs in English and others in Italian (I think?). The DVD is about the making of the CD album and not a visual performance of Josh singing the tracks on the album. It grew on me after a few playings and I now think that it is a great CD. Words to all 15 (INCLUDES 2 BONUS TRACKS) songs included.
Very good value for money.

A very good album.,

This review is from: Awake [CD + DVD] (Audio CD)
This is the third and latest album from Josh Groban. It is in a different and refrshing style from his last two. As expected, it contains really beautiful songs. He is even rocking out a bit with some drums and a little guitar. Another nice thing is that he has started using his falsetto more which is really good and adds a nice touch and variety to his songs.
Good voice, good songs, good lyrics. Also the DVD is funny and gives us an insight into what Josh is like. He has a nice personality from what I have seen.
