JASON MRAZ IS BACK WITH HIS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” OUT MAY 24TH.
Atlantic recording artist Jason Mraz has disclosed early details of his highly anticipated new album, “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” The collection – Mraz’s first set of all-new material in nearly three years – will arrive in stores and at online retailers on May 24th.
The San Diego-based troubadour’s third studio release, “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” was produced by Martin Terefe, known for his work with KT Tunstall, Ron Sexsmith, and James Morrison. The album sees Mraz continuing to tread his own distinctive artistic path, melding a variegated musical tapestry with passionate, personal lyricism. Among the highlights are collaborations with British tunesmith James Morrison and singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat. “I’m Yours,” the album’s first single, was chosen due to the undeniable fan response to the song and will go to radio on March 1st. A demo version of “I’m Yours” originally appeared on a limited release bonus EP Mraz put out with his last album. Today the song is an online sensation, with over 300 user-generated videos from more than 25 different countries now appearing on YouTube(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8SJOYzk7SY).
Always an active online presence, Mraz has kept his loyal fanbase abreast of his recent activities via a series of video blogs, dubbed “Crazy Man’s Ju-Ju.” The clips – along with a variety of other travel adventures, live performances, and studio sessions – can be accessed at “Jason Mraz TV,” the Official Jason Mraz YouTube channel, located at www.youtube.com/user/OfficialJasonMraz.
A compelling and inventive live performer, Jason will be touring Australia in March, playing at the West Coast Blues & Roots Festival, Bluesfest in Byron Bay, Point Nepean: A Music Experience as well as side shows in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
“WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” follows Mraz’s two previous studio releases: 2002’s breakthrough, “WAITING FOR MY ROCKET TO COME,” and 2005’s “MR. A-Z,” which debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 in the US. Mraz has also released a series of concert recordings, including 2004’s “TONIGHT, NOT AGAIN: JASON MRAZ LIVE AT THE EAGLES BALLROOM” and 2006’s digital-only release, “SELECTIONS FOR FRIENDS.”
