Soul Strumming Pioneer
Okay, so I’m secretly in love with Mr. A to Z.
I never knew I’d find such soul and intellect wrapped inside some easy-going kid from Mechanicsville, VA. And even though Jason Mraz is pure genius (sorting out words like a true artist), he’s kind of cute, too. How many white boys do you know who rap just as fast as Twista … but to an acoustic soul track? Uhhhh, I bet none! Below, check out Dynamo of Volition (Atlantic, 2008) to hear for yourself.
While collaborating the distinct sounds of the djembe drum and guitar, Mraz infuses love, passion, and a zest for life into his music. Mraz, scheduled to tour the world with his new album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things (Atlantic, 2008), is a breath of fresh air with a reinvented sound.
Im Yours (Atlantic, 2008), peaking at number six on the Billboard chart and nominated for a Grammy, induces nothing but feel-good enzymes, making you dream of clear water and pearly sand dunes … even if it’s drearily winter where you’re from. So, by all means, escape your little drab world for just a moment and INDULGE! It’s on me … and Mr. A to Z.
