Groban burst onto the international music scene in 2001 with the release of his self-titled debut album featuring the hit single “To Where You Are.” His follow-up album, Closer, was released in 2003 and brought enormous success to the young singing sensation. His smash hit, “You Raise Me Up,” immediately became popular among his fans worldwide. Closer, along with his self-titled debut album, have collectively sold more than 14 million copies worldwide.
His newest album, AWAKE, released earlier this month on Reprise Records, features 13 new songs including the first single “You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up).” With a lineup of stellar producers including Marius DeVries, Guy Sigsworth, Glen Ballard and David Foster, the album contains songs in Italian, Spanish and English. An early hit, “February Song” features Groban on keyboards and was written by the 25-year-old Los Angeles native during a sleepless night. “I wanted to write a song that melodically and lyrically represented the craziness I felt in that moment in the dark, dark space. I walked over to the piano and it just came to me in one-half hour in the most magical way.”
