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

 Really impressed, excellent album November 19, 2008
Finnyhut (The Netherlands)
I 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!
SO NICE & BEAUTIFUL POP ALBUM ! ! ! November 14, 2008
Rafael Cova (Caracas, Venezuela)
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, while two collaborations - with James Morrison and Colbie Caillat.
The reggae-infused "I'm Yours", which really ought to become one of the summer's great love anthems - a song so sweet and happy.
Lucky continues the acoustic vibe and benefits from a lovely boy-girl vocal trade-off between Mraz and Caillat. It's unashamedly optimistic, boasting lines such as "lucky I'm in love with my best friend, lucky to have been where I've been, lucky to be coming home again".
Mraz's cheeky side is exemplified in the sexy Butterfly, an ode to a woman's "secret smile", that boasts such suggestive lyrics as "let me feel feel you upside down, slide in, slide out..." and "I want to flower you". It's snappy and once again propelled by a horn section that adds extra charm.
In stark contrast, however, comes Love For A Child, a tender, heartfelt lament from a child who wishes his parents had been better. It's a sobering reminder of Mraz's diverse ability to mix fun and melodrama, frivolty with seriousness. And it's a real grower.
Details In The Fabric, meanwhile, is a pick-me-up for anyone who's feeling down, a beautifully constructed slow-burner that's all about reassurance and friendship. It's built around some tender acoustic guitar licks and a nice vocal collaboration from James Morrison.
 Hmmm... November 13, 2008
Melily (California, USA)
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 For My Rocket To Come' and 'Mr. A-Z' Jason, who was unpredictable by chance, and didn't seem to be trying so hard to be so.
Da' Sha' Hizzle!!! November 12, 2008

I just climbed from under my rock.... I had no idea who Jason Mraz was... It was on my Amazon recommended list. 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 don't like, actually, there aren't any fillers on here. If you're looking for a compilation of one particular genre, this may not be your cup of tea. But if you like your music with some folk-funk-jazz-pop-chill, this is the sha-hizzle!!!
Great Album November 5, 2008
S. Kaprove (CT, USA)
I 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.
