Editorial Reviews

International pressing of Groban's hit album featuring one bonus track: 'You Raise Me Up'. This 2006 follow-up to his previous two LPs Josh Groban and Closer, which collectively sold over 13 million copies, Awake reflects a more 'hands-on' approach in the shape of several Groban-penned/produced songs, plus contributions from Imogen Heap, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Dave Matthews and Herbie Hancock. The album's impressive 14 tracks show the Grammy nominated performer's tremendous growth as an artist, producer, songwriter and vocalist since he first appeared on the musical landscape. Warner.

I would have liked to know the names of the songs on this CD before I purchased it online, but that information was not available in the ad. Yet, I loved all of the songs when I received the CD and first listened to it. But then, I would love hearing Josh Groban sing anything.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awake and Alive, February 8, 2008

Josh Groban has done it again. His CD, Awake, is full of uplifting and enchanting songs- too many to review individually. He is quoted with saying that "Closer is a more direct representation" of who he really is, however, I think Awake fits the bill much better. It has a good balance of the languages, wonderful big band type music, and some great guest artists. Awake is definately worth the time!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not his best, but still enjoyable., June 29, 2008

I am a die-hard Josh Groban fan and own every DVD and CD he has produced. This CD, while enjoyable, is not his best. (My sister describes it as "Josh Groban Light.") It is very much "pop" music and doesn't really showcase his incredible vocal technique. Lots of falsetto. But, all artists are entitled to experiment with their art, and all patrons are entitled to experience it. So, it was a good experiment, but I hope he goes back to doing more of what he did with his first two albums.
