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".

Customer Rating:      Summary: Jason Mraz is awful Comment: Jason Mraz is a terrible musician who thinks that he is talented enought to improvise and vamp through half his songs. It's annoying. He comes off like a frat boy, arrogant and entitled.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Playful and Proud Comment: To put into words the pure talent of Jason Mraz is like trying to describe the joy of a sunny afternoon. His musical ability is undisputed and his release We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is a shining beacon of just how talented the man is. With effortless grace, he trapezes through musical genres like they're all second nature and doesn't blink at change in paces.
With sounds sometimes reminiscent of John Mayer and Michael Buble, the album has sensitivity and smarts that are uncommon in many releases today. The use of acoustic guitar does not go unnoticed and adds to the pure beauty of the music which is contrary to the over-produced and synthesised releases which have been hyped up lately. His music has an honesty that is not about saving the world in a couple of minutes, nor is it the wailings of someone wanting their body touched.
Mraz moves through his album with maturity and fearless ability. Stunning collaborations with Colbi Cailat on Lucky and James Morrison on Details In The Fabric are surprise gems that feature on the album. Then there is the superb track Only Human which would be right at home on Ministry Of Sound: Chillout Sessions. The other highlight track on the album is The Dynamo Of Volition which is somewhat reminisce of Australia's own John Butler Trio mixed with Jack Johnson.
Sadly, the album probably won't pick up much air play on the radio as it's not the commercial bubble gum pop that wails across the air waves these days. The album is solid listening with no disappointments in any of the twelve tracks. His work is clean and friendly and very relaxing. To try and compare him with other artists is a discredit to his own natural talent because he really stands in the field on his own as a versatile artist who can produce fantastic listening that can't be ignored.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Euphoric Comment: Love is all I have to say about this album. condition and delivery exceeded my expectations.
Customer Rating:      Summary: very nice Comment: I am a big fan of Jason Mraz anyways, but this CD is very good to listen to. The lyrics are just so awesome and take you to another place...I love Butterfly..that is the best!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Jason Mraz's Latest Comment: Purchased due to "I'm yours" - evocative of the best Hawaiian pop, and curiousity about the rest of the CD. Not disappointed,..it's fun.
