|
| This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. |
|
| Powerhouse vocalist Josh Groban may not be all things to all people, but he's certainly many things to many people. An international sensation, Groban is a Broadway-ready belter, romantic crooner, and classical/pop crossover phenomenon. Groban largely shies away from the more operatic side of his musical personality on CLOSER, leaning more towards a lush, cosmopolitan style that finds him singing in Italian, French, Spanish, and English with equal aplomb. |
|
| While the album is speckled with adult-contemporary pop production touches courtesy of Groban's mentor David Foster, much of the record sports a cinematic, grandly orchestrated feel. And on the closing track "Never Let Go," his collaboration with ambient popsters Deep Forest, Groban even bucks for inclusion on a future volume of the PURE MOODS series, showing that he's always got another stylistic surprise up his sleeve. |

Artist/Group
| Overview |
| Part of a wave of classical-pop crossover artists around the turn of the century (Charlotte Church, Bond, Andrea Bocelli), Josh Groban achieved massive worldwide success straight out of the gate with his 2001 debut album. In fact, he veers considerably closer to pop than the aforementioned artists (can you picture Andrea Bocelli tackling Ultravox's "Vienna?"), but maintains enough of a classical/opera comportment and flavoring to appeal to stragglers on either side of the fence. His photogenic appearance and acting experience don't hurt his popularity either. |

by wlswarts, 2/28/2007 |
|
|
Pros: Decent Voice, Generally Good Production
Cons: Lacks . . . soul mostly.
The Bottom Line: Best known for the track "You Raise Me Up," "Closer" is an indistinct presentation of music using an amazing baritone voice and little else.
Review: I think I finally "get" vocal music, like Josh Groban, Hayley Westenra and Enya (okay, less Enya be
