Josh Groban

New Music From His Latest Album Illuminations

OK I must confess when I think Josh Groban I think powerful singing voice not funny guy.

But if his appearance on Glee was any indication, this singer-songwriter, pianist, percussionist, actor and producer really is funny. And Josh Groban continues to explore his comedic talent with this two part interview 'Table Talk with Josh Groban'...





Josh Groban's new album Illuminations is available now everywhere.

For this fifth album Josh teamed up with super producer, Rick Rubin. Rick made Josh step out of his comfort zone and created a space where he was free to express himself more fully, more truly than ever before....“These are my stories,” says Groban, who co-wrote 11 of the 13 songs on the collection, complemented by personalized if surprising selections written by Nick Cave and the poignant mother-son collaboration by Kate McGarrigle and Rufus Wainwright. “Every one of these songs, someone’s going to know it’s about them. I’m going to get a text message about every one! This is a very personal record.”

The album was three long years in the making...“I was given the very lofty task of having more responsibility on this album than I’ve ever had,” he says. “The bar was set high from the beginning. That’s why it took so long. But I can say that more of me went into this record than anything I’ve done.”

Here is the video for the single "Hidden Away"



The Limited Edition Illuminations CD features the full-length album plus The Making Of Illuminations on DVD. Each version will contain a unique code insert, which will unlock an exclusive full-length Josh Groban concert via USTREAM.
