We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things

more info

Jason Mraz’s first set of all-new material in nearly three years, WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.

sees Mraz continuing to tread his own distinctive artistic path, melding a variegated musical tapestry with passionate, personal lyricism. Among the highlights are collaborations with British tunesmith James Morrison and singer/ songwriter Colbie Caillat. "I’m Yours," the album’s first single, was chosen due to the undeniable fan response to the song.

A demo version of "I’m Yours" originally appeared on a limited release bonus EP Mraz put out with his last album. Today the song is an online sensation, with hundreds of usergenerated videos from more than 25 different countries now appearing on YouTube. Jason will be hitting the road this April on the "Music, Magic & Make Peace Tour".Since 2002’s jaunty Waiting for My Rocket to Come, Jason Mraz has developed into a more mature, well-rounded pop artist.

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is his most multi-dimensional work yet, covering everything from groove-based material to ballads. While tracks such as "Make It Mine" and "Butterfly" refer back to the catchy style of previous albums, there are many other styles and textures on display here. His duet with Colbie Caillat, "Lucky," for example, explores his folkish, acoustic side, as does the compelling "Details in the Fabric," both of which are excellent songs.

Mraz gets a little more experimental on "Coyotes," which toys with a clubby electronica and strangely seems to work, and on "The Dynamo of Volition" for which he employs a hectic, rapping-style of vocal over a typically contagious rhythm. His ballads, such as "Love For A Child", "If It Kills Me" and "Beautiful Mess" (these last two saved for the end) show a more sensitive side and even when his lyrics are occasionally clumsy, Mraz manages to make his point in an emotive way. Easy-going and sunny, but with laudable elements of depth and innovation, this is Mraz at his best so far.--Danny McKenna

    This is by far my favorite Jason Mraz album so far. I made "I'm Yours" my ring tone right after it came out in 2008 and I haven't changed it yet. Mraz's music is very catchy but it's so deep and rich. He's so talented and this album showcases his talents perfectly. His lyrics are so passionate and beautiful.

    The long wait is finally over as the time has finally come for Jason Mraz’s third studio album release. The album which was previously planned to be released on May 20th, was pushed to an earlier release date which is May 13th. Dubbed as “We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.” – the singer/songwriter never ceases to amaze me lyrically and musically. Regardless if it is live performance or studio recording, there seems to be a relationship between Jason and his music that is rare and beautiful creating a harmonious bliss song after song. The first single “I’m Yours” has been out for months now and has spawned numbers of covers over YouTube, while the singles “Butterfly” and “Details in the Fabric” were released weeks before the album release date. The album contains dozen on songs, and also showcase Jason’s collaboration with equally talented artists like Colbie Caillat via the song “Lucky” and with James Morrison in the song “Details in the Fabric”, res...
