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.

He held his one night 'Awake' concert at the Point Depot, which was full to capacity. You could have heard a pin drop until that beautiful voice began singing then the place erupted. Josh sang all of the songs on the album, surprising the audience by walking up and down the aisles to sing 'I am not a Hero', truly wonderful. Each song was performed with feeling and warmth. His between song chats were funny and the concert had a lovely warm family feeling about it. The concert was just on 2 hours long and I must say what value for money we received. If you are buying this album you are in for a treat, if ever you are lucky enough to see him live...grab the chance, you will not be disappointed. Josh is one of the finest singers and live performers I have ever seen...Wonderful.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

McDonald (Fife) - See all my reviews    I cannot recall buying an album as superb as this one. I have all three of Josh's albums and this is by far the best - that's not to say that the others are not good. In fact, they are also fabulous. I managed to see his 'Awake' concert in Glasgow in May and was blown away. He sings with passion and kicks the likes of Michael Ball, Enrique and Julio (mentioned below) into touch. They are not even in the same league; and to say his voice is strained shows the musical inexperience of the listener. One also needs to appreciate that this lad is also a musician - look at the credits after each song to see just how much of the writing he has done and how many instruments he played for many of the tracks. Not something that most of today's chart 'musicians' could lay an honest claim to, I think. I would recommend Josh Groban to anyone and will never tire of listening to him. I can't wait for his next album.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

(Uk) - See all my reviews Josh Groban has previously released 2 albums before this each I thought were fantastic. To be able to sing in English, Italian, Spanish and French - all brilliantly well is just amazing. Awake to me is Josh's best Album yet. There is a mixture of what you would hope to get from Josh and a little different besides. Josh puts more of 'him' in to this album. He has many musical influences and this is shown on this album. He collaborates with many different artists (behind the scenes)and to me the most special songs are the ones with the African influences. He sings 2 songs with LadySmith Black Mambazo which are excellent. I would seriously reconmend you buying this album because if you are not a fan now , you certainly will be after listening to this. I have converted 3 new Josh fans and I am sure will too, once they hear this.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
