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
Album Description
The Josh Groban phenomenon continues with Awake, his third studio album. Both of the extraordinary singer's first two studio discs have been certified five times platinum, with his most recent, 2003's Closer, charting #1 pop. His uplifting music rises ever higher on Awake. The Special Edition features two bonus audio tracks on the CD, and a DVD featuring "The Making of Awake" video piece. More Josh Groban

 Spectacular June 4, 2008
I've loved Josh since the start and this is the best album he has ever released. The songs are all so beautiful and it is the album you can listen to from start to finish. Josh's voice is breathtaking and so soothing. Everyone should own this album.

 Josh Groban -- Awake February 8, 2008
Josh Groban's vocal style continues to grow in depth and expression. I especially enjoyed the diversity on this CD that included African musicians and their music.

4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed after receiving the CD/DVD set from George Groban / AWAKE for a price of $ 24.99. The DVD is not the DVD I was expecting, it was just a behind the scene of making the Music Video DVD and NOT the MUSIC VIDEO itself! Amazon should have inform this to the buyers with the sale of the CD/DVD on the web.
