Tony®, EMMY®, and five-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer, songwriter, actor, and philanthropist Josh Groban has unveiled his breathtaking new album CINEMATIC, out now via Reprise Records. A tribute to the grand and gorgeous world of the silver screen, the 10-track album CINEMATIC is both nostalgic and newly inspired—a transportive listening experience that honors the scores and songs that defined generations while reminding us why we fell in love with them in the first place.
“Bringing these songs to life was an incredibly meaningful experience for me,” said Josh Groban. “Each one represents a moment in film that has resonated across generations, and I approached them with a deep respect for their original impact. At the same time, I wanted to find new emotional colors within them and share that sense of discovery with listeners, and I hope people connect with it and enjoy the journey as much as I did making it.”
Produced by Greg Wells (Wicked, The Greatest Showman, Dua Lipa, Adele, Taylor Swift) and recorded in both Los Angeles and London, the album features globally revered songs from such movie classics as The Godfather, Casablanca, The Lion King, Stand By Me, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and more. Standout moments include a moving rendition of “Stand By Me,” Josh’s soaring interpretation of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King, and a sweeping version of “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca. Additional highlights include a powerful new rendition of “Skyfall” from the iconic James Bond film of the same name, a Sicilian-language rendition of “Brucia La Terra” from The Godfather, a stirring duet of “Unchained Melody” with friend and touring mate Jennifer Hudson, and a heartwarming rendition of “Moon River” featuring Josh’s father, Jack Groban, on trumpet.
Earlier this week, Josh received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, marking another milestone in his celebrated career. Next week, Josh will make a series of television appearances, including a performance of “Skyfall” on Good Morning America on Monday, May 11, a guest appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, May 12, and a performance of “Stand By Me” on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Thursday, May 14. His Q with Tom Power interview is out today – listen here. Josh has also recently appeared on major Canadian television programs including En Direct l’Univers, etalk, Breakfast Television, and The Social.
Last month, Groban completed his GEMS World Tour, delivering captivating performances to audiences in Hawaii, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. In June, Josh will head back out on the road for a North America tour with special guest Jennifer Hudson, including stops at TD Garden in Boston on June 6, Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 12, and Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on June 16. Additionally, Groban will return to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace this fall for GEMS The Las Vegas Residency. See a full tour routing included below.
