An international sensation, Groban is a Broadway-ready belter, romantic crooner, and classical\/pop crossover phenomenon. Groban largely shies away from the more operatic side of his musical personality on CLOSER, leaning more towards a lush, cosmopolitan style that finds him singing in Italian, French, Spanish, and English with equal aplomb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the album is speckled with adult-contemporary pop production touches courtesy of Groban's mentor David Foster, much of the record sports a cinematic, grandly orchestrated feel. And on the closing track \"Never Let Go,\" his collaboration with ambient popsters Deep Forest, Groban even bucks for inclusion on a future volume of the PURE MOODS series, showing that he's always got another stylistic surprise up his sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2003-11-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Josh Groban","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41675451596859,"sku":"EVP-093624845027","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/2873\/1707\/files\/josh-groban-closer_UISxG.jpg?v=1776446555","url":"https:\/\/record-stop.com\/products\/josh-groban-closer-cd","provider":"Record Stop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
