Awake album Product Description
Awake album by Josh Groban was released Feb 13, 2007 on the MSI Music Distribution label. 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. Awake CD music With its strong batch of songs, and Groban's voice continuing to develop, the album may even best its predecessor. Opener "Mai," sung in Italian, sets the tone for the album. 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. 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. Enhanced Japanese pressing of vocalist Josh Groban's third album features two bonus tracks: 'Awake' and the Enhanced Video for 'Don't Give Up'. The Josh Groban phenomenon continues with Awake, his third studio album. Both of the extraordinary singer's first two studio discs have been certified five times platinum, with his most recent, 2003's Closer, charting #1 pop. For Grobanites, his uplifting music rises ever higher on Awake. Awake's 13 new songs show off the Grammyr-nominated Groban's tremendous growth as a vocalist, producer and songwriter. His hands-on approach in the creative process of Awake is reflected in several Groban-penned and -produced songs, along with musical contributions from Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Dave Matthews, Glen Ballard, Eric Mouquet, John Ondrasik Vandrasak (Five for Fighting), Marius DeVries, David Foster and Herbie Hancock. ...See Full Description

| 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. |
| 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) This review is for a different format. |
