Data Insight

Every track on Cinematic is a cover, so Groban contributes vocal interpretation rather than songwriting - the writing credits belong to the original film songwriters, spanning from Herman Hupfeld's 1931 As Time Goes By to Adele and Paul Epworth's 2012 Skyfall. Several of the older Best Original Song winners split words and music between two credited writers, including Mancini and Mercer on Moon River and Harline and Washington on When You Wish Upon a Star, while co-writers on newer entries like Remember Me and Skyfall are credited jointly on both music and lyrics. The Sicilian-language Brucia La Terra carries the thinnest sourcing of the ten tracks - secondary sources disagree on whether Giuseppe Rinaldi or the songwriter Kaballa wrote the Sicilian lyric, so this entry follows the credit tied to Franc D'Ambrosio's original performance of the song in The Godfather Part III.

Cinematic is Josh Groban's tenth studio album, a 10-track collection of songs from classic and modern films released May 8, 2026 on Reprise Records and produced by Greg Wells.
