Noel album Product Description
Noel album by Josh Groban was released Oct 23, 2007 on the Reprise label. Only his fourth studio album, NOEL finds Josh Groban already tackling that canonical mainstay of the adult contemporary singer, the Christmas album. As always, NOEL is a masterfully performed set, balanced neatly between pop standards and the more operatic material that showcases Groban's roots. Interestingly, he sounds best on the most familiar holiday standards, like "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song," both of which he invests with casual, jazzy phrasing, providing a welcome disinclination for the usual Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby homages that many other young singers in the style fall into. Even this early into his career, Groban clearly has a deeply held sense of who he is as a singer and interpreter, and this lovely collection is proof that he's one of the most exciting adult contemporary stars to appear in ages. Bringing Josh Groban's majestic yet intimate voice to Christmas music is truly a gift this holiday season. The young Adult Contemporary star's fourth studio album brings together the traditional such as 'Silent Night' with the contemporary such as 'I'll Be Home For Christmas' and the new, 'Thankful'. ...See Full Description

| True Spirit of Christmas Noel is nothing less than a pure masterpiece. Josh Groban has the voice of an angel.The combination of his voice and the music selection is just beautiful, and brings tears to my eyes each time I listen to it. If you find yourself having a hard time recapturing the spirit of Christmas, this young man will help you find it again. By Agnes Connor (Radford) |
| Did you have any doubt??? I have only heard a couple songs from this CD on Oprah, but having all his other CD's I have no doubt this will be excellent also. Ever since I first heard him I wanted him to do a Christmas CD and finally I have my wish. By Cheryl (Cortland, OH) |
| Stunningly Beautiful & Poignant Josh's has shown himself to be the vocalist par excellance and Noel will be, without a doubt, the best Christmas album ever produced. Josh is in a class by himself vocally with powerful vocals, depth of soul and expression in the lyrical way in which he sings. A voice for the ages and he has only begun. We are in for a wonderful journey in music with him. Panis Angelicus, Ave Maria, Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful are magnificent! I'll be Home for Christmas with the messages from the troops is so special it makes the heart cry; You cannot name a favorite as they are all 5 stars and favorites!_jacy By classymusic (Washington, DC) |
| One of a Kind Josh Groban can make any piece of music beautiful and meaningful, and songs of Christmas are already so. The combination is a natural, especially on Ave Maria. The only imperfection I can see on this c.d. is a personal preference - some of the song choices could be better, but there is a variety. Vocally, as with all Josh Groban performances, this is a 5-star recording. By camiocity (Maine) |
| ANOTHER WINNER FOR JOSH WOW,Stunning voice again. Josh Groban has another hit with this cd. Old classics brought back to life with the voice of an angel. Josh's "I'll be home for Christmas" with the soliders from Iraq or Afghanistan just brings you to tears. And a new song "Thankful" really makes you think that you should be thankful for what you have. Great job Josh. Love, love, love this cd and looking forward to your next. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!
