Bridges

"The title Bridges could be seen as Josh Groban's allusion to how the singer spends his seventh studio album bringing different cultures and demographics together. Groban does this so smoothly, it may take a moment to realize how much ground he covers ... Tying it together are newly written soft rock numbers which help pull the album into perspective. Despite this surface flair, Bridges is another expert adult contemporary record that not only picks up on the threads of Stages, but refines it so thoroughly, it never seems as if Groban spent any time singing music that wasn't soft rock".

"Here's the thing about Bridges: you'd better love a great love song, a cinematically sweeping symphonic accompaniment, and a truly killer pair of pipes. If velvety smooth, soaring vocal theatrics from one of the best in the biz are not your thing, well, why not? There's a reason that Groban is one of the best-selling artists of our time and possesses such an astounding crossover appeal: no matter the genre or the language, the man can sing! Bridges is a great testament to this, a gentle blend of original material and already beloved favorites from the likes of Snow Patrol, Celine Dion, and beyond. If you are not already a fan there is no reason that, after just one listen, you won't want to cross the bridge into fandom. (Bad pun very much intended.)".
