Summary: Review Of the Awake CD
Comment: It is more of my fault than the product. I did not look careful enough of the song list. I thought I will find the song "Awake" in the "Awake CD". Am I wrong? Make sure you check you song list when you buy a CD.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Soulful, respectful, romantic, honest
Comment: 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.

Summary: Wide Awake to listen to the gorgeous sounds of Josh Groban...
Comment: 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.

But let's talk about AWAKE. The song that drew me to this album was "You Are Loved," one of the most divinely inspirational songs I've ever heard. At first, I thought that it was a friend or lover speaking, telling their beloved to push on and persevere. Now, after listening to it many countless times, I interpret it as God singing to His children, reminding them of the love and comfort that they have to rely upon.

The whole album is a soaring experience from the Italian language opener "Mai," meaning "Never" to the closing collaboration with Herbie Hancock, "Machine." Some of the stand-outs for me are the mystery-laden, haunting "Lullaby" and the tragic story told in "Weeping." There's also plenty of shimmering romance in songs such as "Now or Never" and most notably in "Un giorno per noi," translated as "A Day for us." Yes, AWAKE has a different sound than Josh's previous albums, but it is representative of his artistic versatility.

If you love Josh Groban's masterful voice as I do, then you should enjoy any of his albums. But the one I recommend the most other than AWAKE is his debut album with a profound song telling of loss and envisioning Heaven: "To Where You Are." Words cannot express how that song has worked in my life after losing my dad.

(Sidenote: Like many other listeners, I'm also interested in a Christmas release with "Oh Holy Night" and "Believe." Maybe eventually...)
