Josh Groban ft Herbie Hancock: Machine

Nothing can compare to a live concert where the music with all its power and meaningfulness covers you all over and lets experience just what is meant to by this or that music piece. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to attend your preferred concert or a band’s gig, which leaves you listening to the music you like in earphones in YouTube or your ready-made playlist.

If no other opportunity is left I still am picky and prefer listening to professional recordings of ‘live’ performances rather than studio recordings. Here’s one lovely performance I came across and I love the energy transmitted through it. I’ve no idea how come I haven’t been listening to Josh Groban before but now I can clearly see that I love his music style. Eclectic things like cross-genre music have always  been attracting me and that’s definitely one of the reasons I like what Joshua is doing. He mostly sings in operatic pop and I love the combination a lot. This particular song – “Machine” – is featuring the legendary Herbie Hancock and was performed live in New York.
