"Mia Per Sempre" is so heartbreakingly beautiful I was almost brought to tears on first hearing it. Josh sings this song with a pathos not heard in any other of his Italian love songs. The only song I prefer over "Mia Per Sempre" is the gorgeous "Gira Con Me," which also appears on this CD.

If you are a fan of Josh's buy this CD -- you'll be glad you did!!!

Josh Groban's powerful, moving voice makes his debut CD a goldmine of supreme music. His voice is a refreshing oasis in a parched music scene. He comes up with a potential classic in 'You're Still You' which he renders in a smooth and dramatic fashion. He is deeply touching in 'To Where You Are' -- a song he made famous via Ally McBeal. He proves he can match Andrea Bocelli's range in 'The Prayer', dueting with Charlotte Church. He gives a refreshing twist to 'Vincent' and masterfully gives justice to 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring'. His magic is that his voice appeals to the young and old, from whatever part of the world, and his music is unique in that he is neither purely pop nor purely classical. His music is it's own genre and his voice one truly made in heaven.

With his deep and sultry baritone voice, Josh Groban brings power and emotion to every track on the album. There is a wonderful variety of pieces, from the warm and touching "Your Still You", to the power of "Vincent", to upbeat feel of "Canto Alla Vita". The CD crosses music genres, but results in a unique, sensual blend that anyone can appreciate, despite his or her musical leanings. Though half the album is in italian, one does not need to know the language to feel the splendor or enchantment of the songs. Every piece is well done, with beautiful instrumental accompaniments that bring out the melody of the tunes and enhance the richness and beauty of Josh's voice. His voice is one you can not easily forget. This CD is a gem, and is one of those rare albums that can be listened to countless times because every song is truly magical.

Need more Josh? this import version of Josh CD with an additional song "Mia Per Sempre" as a bonus track is even better. If you're one of those who loves Josh music who also want some more from him, this CD is just the answer. Just like his other italian songs, "Mia Per Sempre" is one of my favorites too.

The voice of Josh is just amazing, smooth and one of a kind. You're going to love this CD. Delay no further.....go get it...now.
