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

 Disappointment City! August 30, 2010
MynameisMudd
Extreme disappointment in this CD!!! I was expecting sheer genius and got sheer yuck! I'm Your's and Lucky must have been written and performed by an alternate identity...?
 Love this musician! August 28, 2010

Favorite tune: Lucky. Love Jason's style and amazing lyrics. Hard not to enjoy this album.
 Good, Not His Best August 20, 2010
MusicalSolace
This album is pretty good. Mraz sticks with his usual light, happy style of music for the most part with some more upbeat songs. His sound doesn't change much from song to song here and doesn't seem very creative. New tricks, please.
 I sang along, I cried, This Album Stole My Heart! August 17, 2010
JA
Here are some of my favorites on this album!
I'm yours-an appealing commercial favorite, the lyrics are very sweet and can be sung along to easily.
Lucky-Duet is sung w/ Colbie Caillat, about being in love with your best friend.
Love For a Child-about a child's point of view of their parents divorce. Innocent, touching, could make you cry.
Details In The Fabric-helped me through a tough time. I was on my way to my doctors w/ my son, (who needed an EEG because he had a seizure)when his song came on and the lyrics "hold your own, know your name, go your own way..........everything...will be fine" played and helped me get through my day. Duet is w/ James Morrison.
If It Kills Me-I first heard this song on "So You Think You Can Dance" its a wonderful tribute of finding a way of telling your best friend that you're in love with them when they have no idea.
I love that Jason Mraz has a pure voice, his songs always have a good message, and he seems very laid back. :)
In love with my best friend August 3, 2010
