While details about her album project are yet to be released, it’s expected to come out in 2022. “Singing this as a duet with Josh Groban allowed the imaginary conversation I had in my head to live with these two lovers, who may have been experiencing this exchange for the first time in their lives,” she added.

“‘Songbird’ by Christine McVie has always been a song that has gone straight to my soul,” she told Taste of Country about the track. Rita Wilson and Josh Grobans single Songbird originally performed by Fleetwood Mac - from the album, Rita Wilson Now & Forever: Duets - available now at.

She specifically invited Groban to join her for a touching duet that uses both of their warm vocals. It’s a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s original 1977 hit. The song comes off of Wilson’s upcoming duets and concepts album. The song, as Awake itself, is a grand collision of pop culture and co-opted classical themes from then and now, and perfectly embodies everything that has made Groban so successful.Rita Wilson and Josh Groban combine their talents to bring their version of “Songbird”. It doesn't hurt either that he's brought along some unexpected guests this time around in the African vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo, appearing here on two tracks, as well as legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, who shows up on the angular and half-funky "Machine." It's also great to hear Groban dig into an adaptation of "Un Giorno Per Noi," Nino Rota's theme to Franco Zeffirelli's classic 1968 film Romeo and Juliet. None of this really matters, though, to fans of Groban, who justifiably respond to his superb technique, silky tone, and bedroom eyes. The Bushs Beans collaboration with Josh Groban is consistent with the self-deprecating sense of humor of past campaigns to exalt a lowly food staple into something thats almost otherworldly. So, despite being quite listenable, from a mainstream pop point of view the use of Italian is great for lending the album a sheen of pan-European classical regality, but in some ways limits the emotional impact of the songs to only those who understand Italian. Truthfully, barring any awkward translations, most of these songs would sound fine sung in English and generally come off as very good Italian pop songs.
This brings up the only problem with Awake, which is that as Groban's music has moved closer and closer to pop, the necessity of utilizing Italian becomes increasingly nebulous.
Interestingly, the tracks co-penned by Groban are some of the most compelling, and showcase his knack for a kind of '60s Scott Walker baroque pop meets '80s Diane Warren adult contemporary vibe. Here listeners get a mix of original songs - some co-written by Groban - that trade between more classical/opera-oriented songs sung in Italian and more pop-oriented songs in English. The pair got together to remake this Fleetwood Mac song. In fact, the album is perhaps his most appealing and deviates little from his previous outings. Josh Groban and Rita Wilson sing ‘Songbird’ duet and it’s absolutely beautiful. Longtime fans of Josh Groban should be pleased to know that the vocalist's third studio album, Awake, features more of the polished, well-crafted, and emotionally grand classical crossover pop he has become known for.
