Recording information: 2006.
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 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.

    This is my first CD by Josh and it was given to me as a gift. Until that day, I have never even *heard* of Josh Groban!

    Not knowing what I was getting into as I un-wrapped the case and placed the CD into the stereo, I was *very* pleasantly surprised.

    The first song, entitled “Mai”, (I found out later that it is in Italian), is sung in a hauntingly enchanting voice. I was hooked right then and there. Wow, what a voice! The way that this song is sung reminded me of the similarly hauntingly enchanting voice at the end of the movie, “The Gladiator”. Obviously done in a lower key, but still very effective.

    As I started to research this artist, I found out that the second song, “You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up)”, is a pop hit, along with another fan favorite, "Un Giorno Per Noi" (The love theme from Romeo & Juliet). In addition to these, my other personal favorite is “February Song”.

    He has a very soothing and calming voice, which helps to wash away the stresses of the day, so you can relax in your favorite chair with a nice glass of wine.

    I’ve also learned that this is his third CD, which was released on November 7, 2006.

    To add to his repertoire, he does a song entitled “Weeping” with Lady Black Mambazo, which has an African feel to it. The last song, “Machine”, done with Herbie Hancock, has a sort of bluesy / jazzy tempo which is fun to listen to.

    No matter what language he is singing in, Italian or English, you are sure to enjoy this album of 13 songs.

    I personally am looking forward to getting his two earlier CD’s, and I have instantly become what fans affectionately call themselves…a “Grobanite”!

    IF YOU FOUND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU !!
