FOR his sixth album, US singer Josh Groban has teamed up with Warner Bros Records chairman Rob Cavallo, as well as producers Walter Afanasieff and Lester Mendez. The 31-year-old self-described “tenor in training”, who appeared opposite Emma Stone in Crazy, Stupid Love, has hand-picked songs that act as “echoes in our souls”, including Stevie Wonder’s I Believe When I Fall In Love, Glen Hansard’s Oscar-winning Falling Slowly from Once and Hollow Talk, originally sung by Choir Of Young Believers. Groban, who became one of the country’s top-selling singers after his heart-rending versions of You Raise Me Up, The Prayer and To Where You Are, has yet to find the amazing successes of his earlier albums – his eponymous 2001 debut and 2003 Closer – and All That Echoes is a step in that direction.
