Jason Mraz?s first set of all-new material in nearly three years, iWE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS./i 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.br br"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 iWaiting for My Rocket to Come/i, Jason Mraz has developed into a more mature, well-rounded pop artist. iWe Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things/i 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.--iDanny McKenna/i

 Simply Fantastic December 31, 2008
To the guy that gave this one star and called it "homorific".......shame on you. You should have let your "better half" rate it. Seriously......what do you listen to? Metal? Figures.br /br /This is one of the most thought provoking, emotional albums I have heard in a long time. It is a work of art. Bravo.....I had never heard of Jason Mraz until this album. He is simply fantastic..a true artist.br /br /This will not be my last Jason Mraz album. I am very impressed with his work. I would give him 10 stars if I could. He has sooooo outdone many greater-known singers. I know that I will be singing his praises for some time to come.
We sing, we dance... December 28, 2008
Music easy to listen anywere, alone or with company. It lifts the soul, makes you want to dance and feel good. Just great*******
 A feelgood,sexy, reggae-infused pop with a summery vibe. A Grammy is the cards. December 26, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
With his third outing, Jason Mraz has delivered a breezy collection of pop songs that take their cues from the '70s.br /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.br /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.br /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. br /Recorded in London, "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things" demonstrates Mraz's flair for funky rhythms, as well as more tender acoustic moments.br /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. br /"The album is funny and has a lighthearted ring to it, and it's very sing-along and danceable" Jason says. br /His goal with "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things" was "to make it sort of raw and acoustic. Even though it's a pretty funky album, it's still pretty stripped down. I didn't want to overproduce it. 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".br /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. The songs wash over you, often like a cool breeze on a hot summer's day.br /Some of the songwriting displays real honesty, while two collaborations - with James Morrison and Colbie Caillat - emerge as two of the highlights.br /"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.br /You may like also the pleasantly lightweight jams with beachy guitars ("Live High") or the RB horns ("Make It Mine"). br /"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.Liddlebr /I liked it, I am sure that you'll like it.br /My highlights: "I'm Yours" and "Lucky"br /Start the New Year 2009 with "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things" !br /The album debuted at # 3 of the Billboard Top 200 and at # 3 of The Billboard Internet Albums.br /Waiting for My Rocket to Comebr /Mr. A-Zbr /In Between Dreamsbr /Sleep Through The Staticbr /Troublebr /Continuum
The best album ever by someone not named Richard Marks December 16, 2008
I love almond M Ms which leads to the totally logical conclusion that I would love this piece of musical chocolate. 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. 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. Times were laid back. 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. Totally not true!! I want more. I like every other song on this better because I don't hear them every time I have to go to the bathroom. Mraz is a great singer songwriter and you can tell the Hasslehoff influence on his work. Each nugget on this thing is finely crafted like my chia pet. Look out because here I go! I'm getting excited just typing about this thing. 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 lighting up the opponent right now like Mraz lights up the cool songs chart.br /br /Get this thing and average will leave you alone.
Pop @ It's Best December 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It all starts with a Deacon Blue riff then to Tower of Power with Jamiroquai beats and lets Pop . 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 . There is even some Earth Wind and Fire with ( you won't believe ) Gino Vannelli . Great recording , like it to uplift the soul on a rainy day ... Really good arrangements ... His RESTAREA is okey even that I am not very fond of Hats ...
