Josh Groban

Groban occupies a chair almost nobody else wanted to sit in — the space between pop and classical — and he made it look inevitable. Four consecutive multi-platinum albums and over 25 million records sold tell the commercial story, but what I value is the warmth: that baritone carries an intimacy most operatic voices sacrifice for power. I also love that he trained as an actor first; you can hear it in how he shapes a lyric, treating every song like a monologue. His Christmas album Noël became a household fixture for a reason. He sings like someone welcoming you in.
