Pro Reviews: Closer
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews In a short period of time, Josh Groban went from being a talented vocalist ready to enter college to the new prince of romantic music with a bestselling debut album and highly rated PBS special. The successful combination of his classical crossover croon, boyish good looks, and association with überproducer David Foster helped Groban become a sensation. His sophomore studio disc, Closer, stays comfortably within the boundaries built by his debut collection as Foster once again helms a modest set of pseudoclassical pop songs dreamily sung in various languages. Listening to Groban, it is easy to understand why this MOR style suits him so well as his maturing voice is not grand enough to fully embrace operatic material yet remains too rich and technical for typical mainstream pop music. On Closer he works within his limitations and the result is a more consistent listen than the scattershot debut with his voice sounding comfortable performing these emotional Europeaninspired pop songs. The best tunes bookend the disc as the atmospheric opener, "Oceano," sets an ominous tone while the mysterious "Never Let Go" is a welcome collaboration with Deep Forest that allows Groban to successfully move away from the saccharine ballads and grow as a vocalist. However, there is still plenty of romance included for the PBS crowd as "When You Say You Love Me" painfully cries out like a rejected Celine Dion cut and the Celticinfused bombast of Secret Garden's "You Raise Me Up" plays like the sequel to his debut's most famous song, "To Where You Are." In addition to his improved vocals, Groban contributes three cowriting efforts that include "Never Let Go," and shows that there is a future for him to evenly match his skills as a vocalist and a songwriter. Although the disc still focuses on bland rose petal confessions, its highlights point in the right direction and bring Groban Closer to creating an album that eliminates the sick sweetness while remaining a tasty, satisfying treat. - Aaron Latham, All Music Guide |

Pros: Wonderful range of music and songs, with an amazing voice to back it up.
Cons: I don't know the other 3 languages!
Josh Groban is an amazing singer and the lyrics are amazing with wonderful feeling and movement. The entire CD is wonderful, even the songs I don't know what he's saying. Groban really makes you feel the music and there is a love of wonderful piano playing and he mixes a lot of diffrent kinds of things into this CD.
