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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - No real direction!With no David Foster to give him direction, Josh just sing (with good voice) but let face it, his artistic level is still not mature yet! He just like a nice kid who do well whe there is guidance. He sang with little emotion compared with Lara Fabian singing a same song(example: "Broken Vows", also the theme song in the movie "The spirit within". Don't get me wrong, he has a wonderful voice as a vehicle nut he hasn't mature as an artist yet! Please guide him in the next album, somebody! ...

Rating: - Awake This CD is so beautiful, he has an incredible voice and I think that this is my favorite CD of his. Rating: - Thats my boy JoshThere are no words to describe Josh Groban. He is phenmoninal! It doesn't matter he doesn't sing in English, just so long as he sings. My favorite is...When You Say You Love Me. His voice just lifts you up. Rating: - Great MusicThe CD AWAKE is one of the best I have ever listened to. Thank you for the quality of this CD |
