Awake album Product Description
Awake album by Josh Groban was released Nov 07, 2006 on the Reprise label. Opener "Mai," sung in Italian, sets the tone for the album. Awake music CDs Highly romantic, stirring, and couched in tasteful orchestral arrangements, the song is the perfect canvas for Groban's heart-melting delivery. "February Song," which finds the artist accompanied only by piano, is more reserved and plaintive Awake songs. Other album highlights include "Machine," with a funky, jazzy backdrop provided by Herbie Hancock, and "Lullaby" and "Weeping," which feature the South African vocal group Ladysmith Black Mombazo. This set includes Josh's 3rd studio album with musical contributions from LAdysmith Black Mambazo, Dave Matthews, Glen Ballard, Eric Mouquet, John Ondrasik Vandrasak from Five For Fighting, Marius DeVries, David Foster, and Herbie Hancock, plus 2 bonus tracks, along with a DVD featuring behind-the-scenes clips of Groban in the studio and more. 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. ...See Full Description

| Absolutely Fantastic! This long awaited CD was worth the wait. He has never sounded better. The emotion this CD has brings tears to my eyes. Am awaiting his concert in Cleveland in February 2007. By lindaboston (Hartville, OH)  |
| Beyond words What can I say. There are no words to tell how great this CD is. Truly beyond description. By Larry (Ft Walton Bch, FL USA) |
| Awesome!! Classic music arrangements and John gifted voice work wonder here!! By juan_perezh (Maiquetia, Venezuela)  |
| A Gift From God? I always liked Josh but not until this particular album came out was i completely convinced about him. I am now. I witnessed him last night in Glasgow and the performance he gave was absolutely incredible. I had tears in my eyes at the end - and I'm a bloke. The curtain was still up when he began 'You Are Loved'. It was very hard to tell the difference between a CD and Josh live. What a voice. 'February Song' is another cracker. One woman in the crowd shouted 'Josh - you are a gift from God'. 3,000 others there that night including myself, agree. By Martin (Glasgow, Scotland) |
| So amazing! Josh Groban takes away my breath in this album. I love all his music, but I listen to this album over and over and never get tired of it! By eyeheartfreebies (United States) This review is for a different format. |
