Josh Groban - Josh Groban - Pop Music CD Review

Josh Groban, very talented Pop artist has released him latest CD titled Josh Groban and Wow! It's good.

Josh Groban grabs your attention right from the outset with Alla Luce Del Sole and won't let go until the very last note of the very last song The Prayer, which is another great track by the way.

The CD launches with a great track, Alla Luce Del Sole, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track. One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Pop isn't your favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

I'm of the opinion that Josh Groban is certainly Josh Groban's best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it's a collection that even the casual Pop fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 - Alla Luce Del Sole, track 5 - To Where You Are, and track 13 - The Prayer

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is Track 10 - Un Amore Per Sempre. Great track!
