Editorial Review: Discount Shopping: 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". 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Really impressed, excellent albumI never heard of Jason Mraz until a week ago when Amazon suggested the album when I was browsing for Lizz Wright. I listened to a few samples and went out to buy the album the next day. The songs are extremely catchy, all have their own character, are really original and do not bore you after a few listens. The production is also top-notch, quality of the recording/mixing is fabulous. The use of a horn section on a few songs is excellent, reminds me of Phil Collins' earlier albums. Absolutely recommended! Rating: - SO NICE & BEAUTIFUL POP ALBUM ! ! !For his third album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things, singer-songwriter Jason Mraz has delivered a breezy collection of pop songs that take their cues from the '70s. The result is an engaging, easygoing listen that never quite gets out of first gear. The songs wash over you, often like a cool breeze on a hot summer's day, but unlike previous Mraz LPs there's a sense that he's a little too chilled musically and there's not enough diversity. That said, some of the songwriting displays real honesty, ... Read More Rating:  - Hmmm...Okay, I love Jason Mraz. I have great respect for him and his songwriting abilities, and I love his fun, easy style. I did not, however, enjoy Jason's new album as much as I hoped. Some of the songs were undeniably Jason's... for example, I'm Yours, Live High, Love for a Child, Details In the Fabric, etc., and those are the ones I love. But then there were others... and that, I think, is where it goes downhill. I don't like the style exhibited in, for example, Coyotes. It just doesn't work for me. I miss the 'Waiting ...

I listen to the samples and decided to give it a try. Talking about surprise.... WOW!!!! Unlike most, I like "I'm Yours" but that's not the best cut. I'm not sure that alone would have cause me to buy this CD. But the wicked "The Dynamo of Volition", soulful "Only Human", the jazzy "Coyotes", and lets not forget "Make It Mine"... are steaming HOT!!! Honestly it's easier for me to list which songs I ... Read More Rating: - Great AlbumI bought this album because I couldn't get the song "I'm Yours" out of my head, and it was money well spent! I ended up liking most of the songs on the album b/c they are just upbeat and fun. I haven't always been a huge Mraz fan, but this album is just different enough from his others that I love it.
