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
CD Description
Expectations for vocalist Josh Groban's third release ran high, especially given the phenomenal success of his sophomore effort, CLOSER, which reached number one on the Billboard charts. Like Andrea Bocelli, Groban treads the line between classical, operatic singing, and crossover pop. AWAKE manages the synthesis beautifully. With its strong batch of songs,and Groban's voice continuing to develop, the album may even better its predecessor.
