Item Description...
Outline Josh Groban is making it hard for anybody who can't say "classical crossover" without smirking to maintain an acceptable level of snobbery. Awake, his third studio disc and arguably his most personal--he co-wrote four tracks and favors his native English over Italian--boasts as many bold names as any tricked-out hip-hop disc: Dave Matthews, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Imogen Heap, and Herbie Hancock contribute in various capacities, and a slew of behind-the-scenes collaborators best known for their work in mainstream pop circles deepen the dimensions of a style widely considered claustrophobic. For all the studio doors that got opened to create Awake, though, Groban's signature sound never once slipped out to take the air; "the voice"--that hypnotic, spun-silk wonder of an instrument--is as concentrated as ever, and Awake, in addition to showing off its many splendors, serves as a vehicle for parading its versatility around. While "Un Giorno Per Noi," the deeply romantic theme to the 1968 film Romeo E Giulietta, delivers the Groban that fueled the sale of 16 million previous discs to soft-hearted fans, "Machine," with Hancock, gives up a new form of funk: dignified, classy, and surprisingly unstiff. --Tammy La Gorce
Album Description 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. His uplifting music rises ever higher on Awake.More Josh Groban

I bought this CD because I am going with my daughter to his concert on March 28th. I like to preview the music before I attend concerts. Josh Groban has an amazing voice that just matures and becomes richer as he grows his career. The only disappoinment in this CD to me is that so few songs are sung in English. And there is no translation of what he is singing as part of the CD packaging, so I have no idea what the songs are saying. They are beautiful, just not understandable!
Boring Mar 21, 2007
Josh Groban has a beautiful voice, and his CD's always make for pleasant listening. Nevertheless, the songs on this particular CD are pretty uninteresting, often similar in sound and orchestral arrangement. It's simply not his best album.
Awake Mar 18, 2007
I purchased this CD,without knowing or hearing the songs first, because my wife had listened to the one Hallmark sold as a promo. This is excellent,easy and pleasant to listen to. Makes her want to crank it up and sing along to the songs (the English ones anyway) while riding along in your car!She recommends it highly.
more personalized and I love it Mar 14, 2007
Josh has really stepped forward in this album to show more of his personal taste and abilities in music, rather than doing what we all alreayd know he does well. I loved all fo the tracks on this CD. Some may complain that it is too contemporary or something, but I love it. It's nice to see a different side of Josh and still be totally enthralled.
Timeless quality Mar 12, 2007
It's wasn't quite what I was expecting nonetheless I enjoyed the purity of his voice. His voice is truly amazing.
