We Sing, We Dance, We're Lightweight
Jason Mraz is the kind of sweetly done adult pop that gets the occasional breakthrough, and his "We Sing. . " is the 2008/9 model. His airy, Jack Johnson copy, "I'm Yours," broke Billboard chart records of longevity, and was the most omnipresent earworm since James Blunt's "You're Beautiful. " That song has made Jason a newly minted star, but how does his breakthrough CD hold up? Like a Hostess cupcake. He'll sing about it, dance for it, but that cupcake is one that Jason would consider himself too nice a guy to shoplift.

"We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things" offers up creamy observations on love and life, overproduced goopy ballads and sweet folky pastries. When it works ("I'm Yours," "Lucky" with Colbie Caillat), it makes for solid easy listening fair. When it doesn't ("The Dynamo of Volition"), Jason comes of as really annoying white-bread soul without much depth. And frankly, the sterile horn charts and string sections often make the songs sound over-produced. If you listen without digging in too deep, "We Sing. . . " is pleasant enough, but paying stricter attention shows an artist playing it way too safe. .


I love this c.d.
I don't LOVE all the songs but it is really great most of the time. Mraz has done it again. Could do w/o the butterfly song, but all the rest is wonderful.


Luv it!!
. I love this CD! One of his best!! If you are a Jason Mraz fan or you like a variety of music get this cd.


feel good music
This is a great choice. Time for this Woodstock lover to find new music. Feel good music with no memories attached.


Creative and cool
Jason Mraz have a cool voice, a contemporary sound and very good taste for lyrics. This CD was a great surprise because I got it for the song We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things, but there's a lot more hits inside. I recommend this production 100%.
