Josh Groban Talks Channeling Movie Magic for 'Cinematic,' His 'Emotionally Personal' New Album That Features the 'Epic' Jennifer Hudson & His Own Dad

An emotional highlight where Groban and his dad recorded Moon River in Sunset Sound, creating a personal moment that connected the album to family history and his development as a musician.
Josh Groban Talks Channeling Movie Magic for 'Cinematic,' His 'Emotionally Personal' New Album That Features the 'Epic' Jennifer Hudson & His Own Dad
Q: How were the songs selected and arranged?
They started with a vision and used piano demos sparingly, instead leading with arrangers and orchestrators to shape a sound that felt both timeless and modern, ensuring each track served the story Groban wanted to tell.
Josh Groban Talks Channeling Movie Magic for 'Cinematic,' His 'Emotionally Personal' New Album That Features the 'Epic' Jennifer Hudson & His Own Dad
Q: Where did the idea for Cinematic come from?
It came from a process of unpacking what “cinematic” could mean in the context of his voice and songwriting, and from a desire to work with Greg Wells to create a grand, orchestrated sound that could honor film music while still sounding like Groban.
Mumford & Sons on Getting Back Into the Ring With 'Prizefighter,' Album's 'Fairy Godmother' Gracie Abrams & Why A.I. Can't Make Their Music
Q: How does the recording process go in terms of takes?
This was a bit swifter... a lot of the vocals were done on an SM7 microphone over the speakers, which was like a vibe.

Q: Is there something luxurious to having your own studio?
It's very functional, it's very helpful. ... But in general, I want to write songs at Long Pond for a little while longer.
