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'. Amazon.co.uk: 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 Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Euphoric Love is all I have to say about this album. condition and delivery exceeded my expectations. Rating: - very nice 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!! Rating: - Jason Mraz's Latest 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. Rating: - BUTTERFLY IS HOT!!! "I'm Yours" is the song that inspired me to buy this CD because I love it, but "Butterfly" is the song I listen to over and over and over again. "Details in the Fabric" with James Morrison is lyrical and the two of them singing together is beautiful. I also love "Coyotes" and "The Dynamo of Volition". Jason has a choir sing in one song, a chorus in another and children in another which all are awesome! Actually, the whole CD -- the lyrics, the music, the singing, the special touches -- EXCELLENT!!! Rating: - Disappointing If you're like me and you've loved Jason from the beginning, you will be utterly confused by this album. It's a far cry from his earliest (and best) studio album, the last thing I expected from this funky rockerdude. It's probably not worth your money. see more
