Josh Groban

The internationally renowned heartthrob, Josh Groban, has added his own distinctive operatic sound to the Stevie Wonder classic "I Believe (When I Fall In Love)." The song was written by Stevie Wonder and Yvonne Wright and it was originally released as a single in 1972. The song can now be found on Groban's new album, All That Exchoes which entered the Top 10 in the UK album chart following its release earlier this year. It debuted at number one by selling 141,000 copies. Groban co-wrote seven of the 12 tracks that appear on All That Echoes, which also includes five covers.

Though he's known for his mainstream appeal, Groban has never shied away from trying new and unexpected songs, and All That Echoes is no exception, featuring a moody and contemporary reworking of the traditional Celtic song "She Moved Through the Fair" as well as a truly inspired reading of Jimmy Webb's "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress," which turns the soulful ballad into a heartbreaking Broadway-style showpiece. Also adding to the album's quality are guest appearances from trumpeter Arturo Sandoval and Italian singer Laura Pausini. While all of Groban's albums are immaculately produced affairs, All That Echoes is indeed one of his best.

Groban's first four solo albums, Josh Groban, Closer, Awake and Noel, have all been certified multi-platinum, and in 2007, he was charted as the number-one best selling artist in the United States with over 21 million records in the nation. To date, he has sold over 25 million records worldwide. Groban's fifth studio album, entitled Illuminations was released in 2010.
