Detail: Even the most incredible of journeys starts with a single step. For Jason Mraz,
his life-altering journey began with a single word: no. No touring, no
recording, no work for a year: "I said, I want to go to the grocery
store again. I want to do my own laundry. I want to tend to a garden. I
want to raise a cat."
Jason Mraz came to the decision after a remarkable four years
where he had seen his major label debut, "Waiting for My Rocket to
Come" explode off the success of such hits as "Remedy (I Won't Worry),"
"You & I Both" and "Curbside Prophet." Shortly thereafter, Mraz
returned with his Grammy-nominated, critically acclaimed "Mr. A-Z,"
which continued his chart success with "Wordplay." Throughout, his
reputation as a tremendous live act soared.
But when he took a well-earned break, something unexpected happened: he
rediscovered himself. After a few months, "I suddenly woke up and real
songs started coming out of me," Jason Mraz
recalls. "Songs that I didn't plan on writing. But that just became a
reflection of how I feel and the mood that I was in and these
awakenings that I was having," he says.
The result is "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things." his most
self-assured effort to date. In true Mraz style, the 12 tunes are
wrapped in clever, observant lyrics and strong, engaging pop melodies,
but this time they are inspired "by these moments of self realization,
self empowerment and self improvement. I was happy to be able to write
an album at the same time I was coming back to earth."
