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

- Soulful, respectful, romantic, honest
Every word is meaningful. Even the songs that are sung in languages that I cannot speak, I feel I understand. There is a soulfulness underneath every note that expresses Josh's sincerity. I put the CD in the player and hit play. No need to fast forward through any track, they are all winners.
Rating: - Wide Awake to listen to the gorgeous sounds of Josh Groban...
The first time I heard Josh Groban's voice was on the radio with his most famous song, "You Raise Me Up."While the song is not one of my favorites, his voice was unforgettable.How many ways can I describe his voice?Deeply moving.Colorful.Emotive.Purely masculine.And also very versatile, as proven with the brilliant TV theme song medley he sang at the Emmys earlier this year.
