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.

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!

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.

Enjoyable music, wonderful voice. A MUST for the diehard Groban fan, a nice addition to your music sets for those who like his music without putting him on a pedestal.

This is one of my favorite CD's from John Groban. If you are a fan you will not be disappointed. The eclectic choices of music in this CD are beautiful.

Enjoy it,
Glad
