In the UK Josh Groban is primarily known as the voice behind one of the most inspiring songs of the last decade, 'You Raise Me Up'. Yet the 25-year old musician has so many more strings to his bow. With the release of his forthcoming third album 'Awake' - which debuted at Number 2 in the US -plus the single `February' on January 29th, Josh is poised to repeat his incredible US success here in the UK.

Whilst some may not like certain departures such as working with Black Mambaso the song "Weeping" has a clear message and shows a clear flexibility away from the Italian operatic aria Tracks, "So She Dances" "You are loved" and "February Song" are proof the Josh Groban's Talent is growing and these songs are truly inspirational pieces of work and at 25y/o will be with us and me for many years to come. Only four stars then? Even for me the album has a song or two that don't fit. Buy it if only for the for tracks above it worth every penny and I know you will listen to the tracks again and again

The songs "Lullaby" and "Weeping" sung by Groban with the respected South African musical group Ladysmith Black Mambazo and with further contributions from Vusi Mahlasela and Dave Matthews highlight Groban's growth as an artist. "Weeping" is a pop song from South Africa that captures the struggle with Apartheid. "Lullaby" is the highlight of the album and it is a thematic extension of "Weeping"
The South African-inspired songs were a departure for Josh Groban but it's refreshing to listen to his talent outside operatic songs like "You are Loved," "She Dances" and others. As with all Groban albums the songs are performed in English, Italian and Spanish.
"Awake" gives a modern feel to his voice with more instruments being used than just the classic piano accompaniment on his previous albums. I really like this album and consider it Groban's best album so far. For some reading, I recommend "Nexus A Neo Novel" for its psychological and spiritual insights.

Well, my copy has 14 tracks and includes 'you raise me up', which I already have, but a pleasure to listen to again. Some songs are a bit of a departure, but I think Josh handles it all brilliantly. After all, if he kept turning out the same old stuff, he would get critised for being 'dull'. I particularly like 'so she dances' a wonderful melody, sung with passion. Another magnificent album, from a truly inspired singer.

Disappointing
Josh has a lovely voice and some of his tracks are truly amazing, but I was really disappointed with this album and find it quite boring - does not do anything for me at all!
