dcdeb Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I've looked and can't believe that there's no thread for Jason Mraz yet! I've loved him since I first heard him with The Remedy -- it's not the same as it was with Mika, but still... there's something sweet about his voice, and I love his laid-back, almost hippy approach to music... and life in general, it seems. His new album "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things." is great on so many levels, and the single, "I'm Yours," is so happy and uplifting to me... reminds me a bit of Bobby McFarrin's old "Don't Worry, Be Happy" tune, but still... I listen to it over and over again. If you go to Mraz's myspace, read his blogs -- they are often hysterical, often moving -- he's very literate and reading his prose, well, he has the soul of an artist, it's clear. I wish I could conjure images with words the way he often does. Yesterday's blog made me laugh a lot though -- reminded me of when Mika was doing all this touring, and made me wonder if his experience was anything like the experiences Jason Mraz has charted here. Take a look HERE. -- it's a pretty funny comparison, I think. So any other Jason Mraz fans out there? dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Sky Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I just heard of him yesterday for the first time, when I was driving along and he was playing with his guitar live on the radio in Tokyo. He was really good, and his duet with Colby Caillat "Lucky" was really nice. (not live). Apparently he is coming to Fuji Rock, just him and his guitar. As you say, he isn't Mika, but I am interested enough now to look deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one of my favorites of his -- kinda dumb video, but love the song and lyrics http://youtube.com/watch?v=-jzq82XAajc dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lissa Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I've been listening to him for a week! Perez mentioned the new album more than a couple of times so I thought I'd give it a shot. I can't believe what I've been missing these last six years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine18 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 waw...I have listened him few days ago first time at our regional music TV...and I was suprised because of his surname...I didn´t know him before... I am from Slovakia and MRAZ is typical surname for slovak people...and translation MRAZ to english is FROST...so he could be Jason Frost...

That's an interesting thing to learn -- Frost, eh? Well, I think he's pretty "cool" Thanks for the insight! dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandilambi Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I've properly fallen in love with new record. I heard it a while ago, but was distracted by other things that I didn't give it my full attention. I am in love with his voice on this record...and it is difficult to choose one favorite song. I also think "Lucky" was written about me and my boyfriend. Gosh, the lyrics describe us so well...especially the chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
