| Closer is the latest Pop CD put out by the richly | | | | 1. Oceano |
| talented Josh Groban who once again has delivered a | | | | 2. My Confession |
| brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Josh Groban | | | | 3. Mi Mancherai (Il Postino) - (featuring Joshua Bell) |
| fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one. | | | | 4. Si Volvieras A Mi |
| Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to | | | | 5. When You Say You Love Me |
| just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to | | | | 6. Per Te |
| end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for | | | | 7. All Improvviso Amore |
| me to listen to from start to finish. These days it's a | | | | 8. Broken Vow |
| very rare CD on which every single song is good or | | | | 9. Caruso |
| better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one | | | | 10. Remember When It Rained |
| of those rare CDs. | | | | 11. Hymne A L'Amour |
| Overall Closer is an outstanding release. What I call | | | | 12. You Raise Me Up |
| must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most | | | | 13. Never Let Go - (with Deep Forest) |
| definitely a worthy addition to any Pop collection. Truly | | | | Personnel includes: Josh Groban (vocals); Leo Z. (piano, |
| an outstanding Pop CD. One of those that is | | | | keyboards, programming, background vocals); Angie |
| completely void of any wasted time, as each track is | | | | Passerella (acoustic & Classical guitars); Dean |
| simply superb. While this entire CD is outstanding some | | | | Parks, Ramon Stagnaro, Michael Thompson (guitar); |
| of my favorites are track 2 - My Confession, track 5 - | | | | Joshua Bell (violin); Devis Mariotti (flute, whistle, |
| When You Say You Love Me, and track 10 - | | | | background vocals); Eric Rigler (Uillean pipes); David |
| Remember When It Rained | | | | Foster (piano); Mark Hammond (keyboards, |
| My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore | | | | programming); David Fall (drums); Raphael Padila |
| [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 12 - You Raise Me | | | | (percussion); Jochem Van Der Saag (programming); |
| Up. What a nice track! | | | | Richard Page, Andrea Sandri (background vocals); |
