Bridges is the eighth studio album by Josh Groban, released by Reprise on September 21, 2018.[1] It is Groban's first album since 2013's All That Echoes to include original music,[2] and he co-wrote nine of the album's 12 tracks.[3] The deluxe edition includes two bonus tracks.[2]
Background[edit]
Speaking to Newsweek, Groban said that after performing on Broadway in The Great Comet from 2016 to 2017, 'I didn't even want a break. I just dove into writing. There are some albums, like the last one, where I don't want to write at all, I just want to be a vocalist. Then there are some where you're pouring out idea after idea. I've had sad albums in the past and I wanted an album that had an uplifting spirit, for my psyche and also for the psyche of listeners. I think we all need that.'[4]
Commercial performance[edit]
Bridges debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 96,000 album-equivalent units, of which 94,000 were pure album sales, and also became outsold by the fourth studio album by American hip-hop group Brockhampton, Iridescence.[5] It is Groban's ninth US top 10 album.[5] It debuted at number one on the US Top Album Sales chart dated October 6, 2018.[6]

EDITORS’ NOTES
He’s a pop singer, Broadway thespian, and sitcom star. With Bridges, Josh Groban confirms his musical ambassador status. It feels like his eighth studio album was intended to invite the whole world in during divisive times. The opening trio of songs are pure Groban—a reassuring pick-me-up, a heartfelt love letter to someone far away, and a moment of reflection. Then Bridges really starts to cook. He shows his versatility and facility with other languages on the delightful French and Spanish songs “Musica del Corazon” and “S’il suffisait d’aimer.” The cultural exchange continues with country star Jennifer Nettles joining Groban on the pretty ballad “99 Years.” His Canadian sister-from-another-mister Sarah McLachlan drops in for a breath-stealing duet, “Run.” And just when you think your heart is about to burst, Andrea Bocelli appears for a mic-dropping collaboration, “We Will Meet Once Again.” Groban does it all with genuine charm and sophistication.
