Thanks to a fortuitous intersection of talent and fate, 22-year-old Josh Groban hasn’t finished his senior year in performing arts school but has already released Closer, his sophomore effort on a major label. Fans of the young vocal phenomenon’s debut will find much to enthral them here, even if it nudges the singer closer to the centre of producer/mentor David Foster’s MOR pop sensibilities. Eschewing much of its predecessors more overt classic-lite pretensions and pop-rock covers for a slate of dramatic, Eurocentric ballads that serve as a showcase for the singer’s inviting baritone, Groban shrewdly positions himself as the American alternative to the Bocelli-Watson crossover axis. “Caruso” may find the singer falling short of its operatic inspiration, but “Oceano” and “My Confession” quickly showcase the singer’s true dramatic range (which seems to all but yearn for a bona fide Broadway musical challenge), while a vocal take of Bacalov’s graceful “Il Postino” theme uses classical virtuoso Joshua Bell’s violin flourishes to good effect. To his credit, Groban displays some promising efforts at songwriting collaboration on the bittersweet “Per Te” and “Remember When It Rains”, while the ambient/ethnic soundscape of Deep Forest’s “Never Let Go” offers a teasing alternative to the record’s otherwise melodramatic production formula. Groban has found commercial triumph via Foster’s mentoring, but there remains a nagging sense here that he hasn’t truly pushed himself as an artist–yet. –Jerry McCulley

Discovered by veteran record producer David Foster, 21-year-old singing phenomenon Josh Groban began his meteoric rise after a last-minute appearance as a stand-in for Andrea Bocelli at the 1999 Grammy Awards dress rehearsal. There, his performance of “The Prayer” with Céline Dion immediately garnered Groban several very influential fans, including Grammy host Rosie O’Donnell. Groban’s subsequent performance on O’Donnell’s talk show, several appearances on ALLY MCBEAL, and a performance at the 2002 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony have rapidly made him one of the hottest talents in contemporary music. As his critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album continues to attract listeners with its diverse selection of classical and contemporary numbers, GREAT PERFORMANCES captures Groban in peak performance, showcasing the spectacular voice that has the power of an operatic tenor but the romantic tenderness of a pop balladeer.

Josh Groban – Harmony (Deluxe) (2021)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:15:26 minutes | 909 MB | Genre: Pop
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Reprise

This HARMONY DELUXE version has 6 new songs including: “Nature Boy” (from Moulin Rouge), “I’ll Stand By You [Duet with Helene Fischer],”(originally recorded by The Pretenders), and “I Can See Clearly Now” (popularized by Johnny Nash). The making of the original album and the title have been very cathartic for Josh. He wanted to go back to basics, and interpret songs that make him feel good, are a blast to sing, and most importantly, are songs that fans have asked for. Josh has performed many of them on the road and in other settings in the past few years. The album is essentially a collection of timeless songs along with two originals. Highlights include “The Impossible Dream” (from the play and film the Man of La Mancha), “The World We Knew (Over and Over)” (popularized by Frank Sinatra); “Angels” (popularized by Robbie Williams), “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” (popularized by Roberta Flack), “It’s Now or Never” (popularized by Elvis Presley), “Celebrate Me Home” (popularized by Kenny Loggins) and “I Can’t Make You Love Me”. Special guest appearances on the album include an amazing duet with Leslie Odom Jr (TONY award for Hamilton on Broadway) on “Shape Of My Heart” (popularized by Sting), plus a stunning duet with Sara Bareilles of the Joni Mitchell song “Both Sides Now”, and Kirk Franklin bringing his unique blend of energy and a choir to a new and timely original called “The Fullest”.
