The Soundtrack of Our Lives: Josh Groban’s ‘Cinematic’
You might think this is new, but… Josh Groban has always been about bringing timeless stories to life through his voice. His latest venture, the album Cinematic, released on May 8, 2026, takes us back to a world of nostalgia and drama.
With tracks like “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King, and “Moon River” from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Groban is not just singing songs; he’s crafting an experience that transports listeners to iconic moments in film history.
Step into a Cinematic Experience
Recording this album felt like stepping into some of the most iconic moments in film history. Groban says, “There’s something incredibly powerful about the way a song or score can elevate a story and stay with you long after the credits roll.” He wanted to honor that feeling—both the nostalgia and the drama—while bringing his own voice and perspective.
One standout track is “Unchained Melody,” recorded as a duet with Jennifer Hudson, a collaboration Groban will be touring with later this year. This duet promises to bring an extra layer of emotion and power to the song, making it even more memorable than before.
A Night at the Oscars
Groban is set to perform at the Oscars on Sunday night. Expect him to wow the audience with a track from Cinematic. With his powerful voice and impeccable timing, he’s poised to deliver something special.
More Than Just a Hit List
The album isn’t just a hit list of popular film songs; it’s an emotional journey. Groban’s interpretations give these classics a fresh twist, making them feel new again. And with his father Jack Groban featuring on “Moon River,” the familial connection adds another layer to the storytelling.
So, get your popcorn ready and dive into Cinematic. It’s not just an album—it’s a gateway to some of the most unforgettable moments in movie history.
