"What most people know about me, they know through my music. This time I've tried to open that door as wide as possible. These songs are a giant step closer to who I really am and what my music is all about. Hence the title."

So says talented vocal phenomenon Josh Groban on the subject of his aptly-titled new Reprise Records release, Closer.

Featuring the glorious new single, "You Raise Me Up," Closer is a stunning collection of thirteen diverse and distinctive new tracks, including three original songs by the young artist, that together comprise a musical landscape both richly detailed and sweepingly cinematic; a resonant and revealing self-portrait in sound and a memorable journey through melody and lyric, language and emotion.
