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
