Classically influenced pop singer Josh Groban is back with 'Hidden Away,' the lead track from his upcoming fifth album 'Illuminations.'
Josh's forceful piano playing -- which sounds like it was recorded in the most perfectly set up, reverb-rich recording studio EVER -- blends nicely with his rich baritone, as he sings sweetly about sharing kindness with our fellow earth inhabitants:
"And all these words / You were meant to say / Held in silence day after day / Words of kindness that our poor hearts crave / Please don't keep them hidden away."
'Illuminations,' which is expected to be released in November, will be the follow up to Josh's last studio album, 2006's double-platinum 'Awake.' He also released a holiday-themed album, 'Noel,' in 2007. You can listen to 'Hidden Away' on AOL Radio's Classical Crossover station.

(Page 1)2. I love it. Lyrics are beautiful. Love the simple arrangement. I like that Josh is learning how to show restraint instead of belting out every single song.

1. I love Josh, don't get me wrong. But, I feel that he is trying to change his style and the sound of his voice. I am disappointed with this song. He has such a strong voice and he is holding it back on this.Love you Josh
