All Rights Reserved.   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info The third studio album by singer-songwriter Jason Mraz was originally released as three online-only four-track EPs throughout the spring of 2008, hence the odd punctuation of the album's full title: WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS. Although it was originally made available in a piecemeal fashion, the entire 12-track album was recorded as a whole, and it flows naturally from the smooth pop-rock of the opener, "Make It Mine," to the extended jam workout of the closing, "Beautiful Mess." Guest spots by James Morrison on "Details in the Fabric" and Colbie Caillat on the flirty single "Lucky" are standouts, as is the shimmering first single, "I'm Yours." Overall, Mraz's tuneful songcraft is on display throughout the album. Producer: Martin Terefe Musical Guests Colbie Caillat James Morrison   Artist Overview Singer-songwriter Jason Mraz made a big showing straight out of the gate with his platinum-selling major-label debut, WAITING FOR MY ROCKET TO COME, in 2002. His mix of pop melodies, funky grooves, and organic, often acoustic-based production earned him immediate comparisons to the likes of John Mayer and the Dave Matthews Band. Over the next few years, Mraz's subsequent albums attained increasingly higher levels of popularity for the singer, and by 2007 his songs had already become AMERICAN IDOL fodder.
