mannerist
And indeed, he apparently has an easy knack for tumbling syllables in interesting patterns. One can sympathize with Jason Mraz; he considers his best talent to be that of word play. But when his first big radio single, "the Remedy," came out, apparently not enough people got the point, so Mraz feels it necessary to spell it out - listen, see, I'm all about word play! Again, one can sympathize; many people in the audience probably do miss the point and well, they probably need to be told. But as art, well, it doesn't go over so well - telling people what you are doing while you are doing it is a mannerist trait of immediate preciousness but not long-term artistic triumph. Mraz might do better to spin his syllables and catchy melodies and let them speak for themselves. His lyrics can be fun but sofar lack the true cleverness of a Bob Dylan or other masters. Mraz might want to wait a while an develop before he goes around boasting about his word play. Clever? Okay. The wizard? Only in the dumbed-down environment where we need to be told what we are listening to. .
