Press release

Tony, Emmy and five-time Grammy Award-nominated singer, songwriter, actor and philanthropist Josh Groban has shared his sweeping new rendition of “As Time Goes By” from the timeless movie masterpiece “Casablanca.” Now available on all streaming platforms, the song is the second offering from Groban’s upcoming album, “Cinematic,” arriving May 8 via Reprise Records.

A tribute to the grand and gorgeous world of the silver screen, the 10-track album was produced by Greg Wells (“Wicked,” “The Greatest Showman,” Dua Lipa, Adele, Taylor Swift), recorded in both Los Angeles and London, and includes globally revered songs from such movie classics as “The Godfather,” “Casablanca,” “The Lion King,” “Stand By Me,” “Breakfast at Tiffany's” and many more. The album is available to presave/order here. Watch the official trailer here.

Last month, Groban shared his soaring interpretation of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from the beloved film “The Lion King,” offering a first glimpse into the grandeur and emotional depth of the upcoming project, and featuring the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles.

“Cinematic” promises to be both nostalgic and newly inspired – a transportive listening experience that honors the scores and songs that defined generations, while reminding us why we fell in love with them in the first place. Standout moments on “Cinematic” include a powerful, Sicilian-language rendition of “Brucia La Terra” from “The Godfather,” a stirring duet of “Unchained Melody” with friend and touring mate Jennifer Hudson, and a heartwarming rendition of “Moon River” with his dad, Jack Groban, playing the trumpet solo. Also featured is an emotionally charged performance of “Skyfall,” showcasing Groban’s dynamic vocal prowess at its most cinematic.
