The album I have been anticipating for almost two years was finally released on November 7th. On Josh Groban's Awake, he takes more control over the production of his music and explores exciting new musical territory. On his previous albums, Josh predominately sang in other languages, but, he sings more english songs on Awake. The album is quite eclectic, influenced greatly by the artists who Josh collaborated with, including Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Dave Matthews, Imogen Heap and a plethora of superstar producers.

I can never pick just one favorite song; at the moment I am really digging "Now or Never," "Solo Por Ti," and "Machine." My list of favorites changes constantly; I love them all!

Starting in February 2007, Josh will embark on a North American Tour; and he will be in San Antonio on March 22nd. I have secured my tickets -- sixth row! -- and my brother, Ben, will be attending the concert with me. He's almost as much of a "Josh Fan" as I am. ;)

Josh will perform at the American Music Awards on November 21st. (It will air on ABC.)

More Josh goodness: Eons Interviews Josh Groban, Groban Finds What He Wants on 'Awake', Video: George Stroumboulopoulos Interviews Josh, Videos of Josh: Live Performances and Interviews.

I have so many favorite singer-songwriters, but, Josh Groban is my very favorite by far! His voice has a quality that is powerful and yet gentle and honest. I'm so glad that Josh made this third album; it has surpassed my expectations, was well worth the wait and leaves me anticipating his future projects.
