Multi-GRAMMY Award winner and Songwriters Hall of Fame Honoree Jason Mrazreleases We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. We Deluxe Edition., a newly remastered version of his GRAMMY-winning, RIAA-certified 4x Platinum album with 14 bonus tracks never-before-pressed on vinyl – including previously unheard demos, an unreleased song, and other rarities – in honor of the album’s 15th anniversary. We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. We Deluxe Edition., offered as a 3-LP set, 2-CD set, and digitally, is available now.
To celebrate the release of We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. We Deluxe Edition., a very special 15th Anniversary Performance will premiere on Jason Mraz’s YouTube Channel at 5pm PT / 8pm ET tonight, September 22nd. Filmed in Mraz’s home studio on The Mranch, the set features five new renditions of songs from the record, including “I’m Yours” and “Lucky” with special guest Colbie Caillat, all backed by his 10-piece Superband that includes the Grooveline Horns, drummer Michael “Leroy” Bram, guitarist Dr. Molly Miller, and members of Raining Jane, his longtime collaborators and co-writers of “A Beautiful Mess.” It was there in that home studio where Jason Mraz first demoed songs for We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., and – more than a decade and a half later – recorded parts of his latest album, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, both of which were produced by Martin Terefe. The We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. 15th Anniversary Performance is the first in a series of new content directed by Jeff Coffman, revisiting and exploring the iconic album.
We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. We Deluxe Edition. includes acoustic versions of the GRAMMY Award-winning song “Make It Mine” alongside fan favorites like “Butterfly,” “Only Human,” and “The Dynamo of Volition,” as well as unreleased demos of “Lucky” (revealing Jason’s first draft of his GRAMMY Award-winning, RIAA-certified 4x Platinum duet with Colbie Caillat), “Details In The Fabric,” and “I’m Yours.” Fans can hear the breakthrough hit in its infancy: the now RIAA-certified 13x Platinum song set a record for the number of weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been streamed more than 3.5 billion times, making it the #1-streamed song released by a solo artist in the 2000-2009 decade.
The limited-edition physical packages include a booklet with rare photos, images of Mraz’s notes while writing lyrics, a track-by-track commentary by Mraz himself, and extensive liner notes by music journalist Annie Zaleski.
Mraz’s most recent alum, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, is a sister album of sorts to We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. For Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, Mraz reunited with produce Martin Terefe as well as Raining Jane, Grooveline Horns, and string arranger David Davidson, all collaborators on the 2008 album. Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, which features the song “I Feel Like Dancing,” is a return to pop for Mraz, who just finished up a nationwide tour in support of the album.
