I would give him 10 stars if I could. Metal. He is simply fantastic.a true artist.This will not be my last Jason Mraz album. It is a work of art.
To the guy that gave this one star and called it "homorific".shame on you. He has sooooo outdone many greater-known singers. I am very impressed with his work. You should have let your "better half" rate it.
Bravo.I had never heard of Jason Mraz until this album. I know that I will be singing his praises for some time to come. Seriously.what do you listen to. Figures.This is one of the most thought provoking, emotional albums I have heard in a long time.
Just great******* Music easy to listen anywere, alone or with company. It lifts the soul, makes you want to dance and feel good.
With his third outing, Jason Mraz has delivered a breezy collection of pop songs that take their cues from the '70s.Athough broadly conveying the same laidback, feelgood troubadour vibe as conteporary artists Jack Johnson, John Mayer and Ray Lamontagne, the American singer/songwriter Jason Mraz is less likely to lull you to sleep thanks to a likeably characterful voice and a playful approach to his music.The Mechanicsville, Virginia-born singer-songwriter still offers his trademark reggae-infused lyrical tongue-twisters, but this time he's added a brass section and a couple of guest-stars into the mix.In fact, unlike his previous two studio offerings, this record finds Mraz working to break free from that one man-and-his-acoustic guitar mould and try something a little more challenging. We Dance. We Dance. "The album is funny and has a lighthearted ring to it, and it's very sing-along and danceable" Jason says.
The songs wash over you, often like a cool breeze on a hot summer's day.Some of the songwriting displays real honesty, while two collaborations - with James Morrison and Colbie Caillat - emerge as two of the highlights."I'm Yours" is as airy as a warm summer breeze, capturing Mraz's typically intricate lyrical qualities and smooth, playful scat singing, while his duet with Colbie Caillat on "Lucky" is both intimate and sweet.You may like also the pleasantly lightweight jams with beachy guitars ("Live High") or the R&B horns ("Make It Mine"). We Steal Things" was "to make it sort of raw and acoustic. I didn't want to overproduce it. "Meanwhile, the funky R 'n' B rhythms of "Coyote, "Butterfly", and "The Dynamo of Volition" are a cheeky nod to the likes of Justin Timberlake, with the latter's syncopated beat likely to illuminate any dance floor".-S.LiddleI liked it, I am sure that you'll like it.My highlights: "I'm Yours" and "Lucky"Start the New Year 2009 with "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things".The album debuted at # 3 of the Billboard Top 200 and at # 3 of The Billboard Internet Albums.Waiting for My Rocket to ComeMr. I wanted to make sure it was clear and make it an album that people could sing to each other, and I think we succeeded".The result - a work described by the singer as inspired by "moments of self realization, self empowerment and self improvement" - is an engaging, easygoing listen that never quite gets out of first gear. Recorded in London, "We Sing.
Even though it's a pretty funky album, it's still pretty stripped down. A-ZIn Between DreamsSleep Through The StaticTroubleContinuum We Steal Things" demonstrates Mraz's flair for funky rhythms, as well as more tender acoustic moments.The album - titled after a drawing by Glasgow artist David Shrigley, who also supplies the album artwork - makes agreeable summer listening with its sunny 1970s-influenced tunefulness and whimsical lyrics. His goal with "We Sing.
I like every other song on this better because I don't hear them every time I have to go to the bathroom. I love almond M & Ms which leads to the totally logical conclusion that I would love this piece of musical chocolate. His reggae groove on "I'm Yours" takes me back to the days where I ran the grill Chips Bucket of Food in downtown Syracuse. I'm lighting up the opponent right now like Mraz lights up the cool songs chart.Get this thing and average will leave you alone.
It's as if I'm at the pet store and the girl comes up and asks if I want to take home the chinchilla. I say, "No way Coolay, I want pudding for six.". I'm getting excited just typing about this thing. Look out because here I go.
I hear the song every five minutes so you'd think I would want to hit someone with a bat the next time I hear the song. Each nugget on this thing is finely crafted like my chia pet. I think we can all agree that Richard Marks put out most of the greatest music ever by a male solo artist, but this Jason Mraz cat is dropping some championship music that should easily get him past the sweet sixteen into the elite 8. Mraz is a great singer songwriter and you can tell the Hasslehoff influence on his work.
I want more. Times were laid back. Totally not true.
There is even some Earth Wind and Fire with ( you won't believe ) Gino Vannelli. Really good arrangements. It all starts with a Deacon Blue riff then to Tower of Power with Jamiroquai beats and lets Pop. Great recording , like it to uplift the soul on a rainy day. His RESTAREA is okey even that I am not very fond of Hats. It follows with the not so new Jack Johnson Brett Dennen Matt Costa folk and good singing and crafting that Jason can bring to a song. Lot's of Stevie Wonder wonder to top it off.
