Jason Mraz, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.
by Nick Chaivarlis

i don’t know if i should start this out with a disclaimer. i’m not sure if i should let you know that, "i’m not good with capitalization," or not. either way, i may be new to this.

either way, this is not a cd review.

this is a suggestion for the fittest. fuck survival. suggestions are what make the world go round, musically.

until you hear bells and whistles. until you hear "rap tunes" from a "gypsy mc" or someone more popularly known as a "curbside prophet."

i may be new to this.
jason mraz on the other hand is not new to this. he is the pinnacle of musical relationships. he is that star quarter back in the high school that thrives solely on football and we’re the innocent vixen sprawled in the bed of his f-150 awaiting our deflowering.

we sing. we dance. we steal things.

is mraz’s newest creation. there is always a distinct commonality when hearing his music from album to album, even if they differ in style from each one.

this one.
has commonalities.

this one.
differs.

which is the joy behind his lyrical ballads, free styling, and awareness of today’s youth.

just listen. i swear. you might find other artists you like belting out in a few tracks, but don’t take my word for it.

i’m new to this, right?

i will go ahead and plug two songs, though.

i’ll tell you that you’re a snobby prude. i’ll tell you that you’re a tease.
i’ll tell you to get the hell out of the bed of that f-150 if you don’t appreciate

i’ll also fill you in on a little tip if you plan on owning this cd.
you should probably (if you’re not "that person" that "needs" to have the actual cd and disc jacket) go ahead and purchase the deluxe (?) edition of we sing. we dance. we steal things.
on itunes.

i’m only suggesting this because if you go to target, you’ll only end up with 14-16 tracks max.

you get 26 with the digital purchase, and trust me, the 5.99 (or so, odd bucks) extra that you’ll pay for is really worth it if you’re the person that loves acoustic and live versions of songs.

pretty much, the majority of his songs are doubled as acoustic sets from his EP’s that came out prior to the full-length album.

face it, it saves you the trouble of illegally downloading shitty versions of your favorite songs in acoustic versions, and you don’t even get side-tracked with internet porn while you’re doing it.


Purchase We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. on iTunes.
