On Friday, multi-Platinum, award-winning singer/songwriter Josh Groban announced his eighth studio album, titled "Bridges," will be released on Sept. 21 via Reprise Records. The album is available for pre-order now
HERE, and fans who pre-order the album will receive three instant grat downloads of new songs, including the new single, "Granted," along with songs "Symphony" and "S'il Suffisait D'Aimer." The album will also be available as a deluxe, which will include two bonus tracks.
"With 'Bridges,' I wanted to create an album that took me back to the spirit of how I made my first ones, but with a modern approach and with so many more years of stories to tell," Groban said. "I felt so good and so inspired making this album, more than ever before, with friends old and new taking part. It both 'bridges' my musical worlds old and new, and also hopefully plays a small part in connecting people in that unique way music can."
This is Groban's first album that includes original music since 2013. Recorded in Los Angeles, London and New York with multiple producers (including Bernie Herms and Toby Gad, Steve Jordan and Dan Huff). This album also finds Groban singing in multiple languages, including English, French, Italian and Spanish. There will also be a couple of duets, to be announced at a later date.
Earlier this month, Groban co-hosted the 72nd Annual Tony Awards alongside Sara Bareilles at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The broadcast this year drew 6.3 million viewers on CBS, an increase of 4 percent from the 6 million who watched last year.
Groban recently wrapped filming for the new Netflix original series, "The Good Cop," starring opposite Tony Danza. The show will be available for streaming on Sept. 21.
In March, Groban announced his fall arena tour. This is his first tour since his sold-out "Stages Tour 2015/2016." Joining him throughout the tour is Tony-Award winning, multi-Platinum recording artist and actress Idina Menzel.
