On Closer he works within his limitations and the result is a more consistent listen than the scattershot debut with his voice sounding comfortable performing these emotional European-inspired pop songs. Listening to Groban, it is easy to understand why this MOR style suits him so well as his maturing voice is not grand enough to fully embrace operatic material yet remains too rich and technical for typical mainstream pop music. His sophomore studio disc, Closer, stays comfortably within the boundaries built by his debut collection as Foster once again helms a modest set of pseudo-classical pop songs dreamily sung in various languages. The successful combination of his classical crossover croon, boyish good looks, and association with überproducer David Foster helped Groban become a sensation. She has appeared in movies including "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Runaway Bride.In a short period of time, Josh Groban went from being a talented vocalist ready to enter college to the new prince of romantic music with a best-selling debut album and highly rated PBS special.

"It all fell together incredibly smoothly." "And that's exactly what happened," she said. When COVID shut down the world, she reached out to producer Rollings, hoping that musicians spending time off the road would be longing to make music. Wilson considered the project for several years. "This album is really a continuation of sharing who I am musically, and what it is that I want to say." "It was really about showing enormous appreciation for the songwriting of that period - how these songs are still relevant even though they're 50 years old." "I wanted to honor where I came from with songs from the Seventies," she said. Wilson covers songs from the Seventies with help from Willie Nelson, Tim McGraw, Elvis Costello, Keith Urban, Vince Gill, Jimmie Allen, Smokey Robison, Jackson Browne, Josh Groban and Leslie Odom Jr. Her fifth studio album, "Rita Wilson Now & Forever: Duets "was co-produced by Wilson and GRAMMY Award-winning producer Matt Rollings.
