A-Z, which debuted at number five on the Billboard album chart. The most popular album by far has been Mraz's most recent studio album, entitled We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. So many of the songs relate to each other in terms of themes and vibes.

For Jason, a good day spent involves working with the Earth, celebrating life and growing both plants and songs.

And those songs go on to feed a lot of people. Everything he does and every song he writes comes back to the idea of love.

With this album, I feel renewed and excited. I look at myself as a new artist. Jason Mraz with Toca Rivera. All Events. Get the Guides Get the Guides.
