Mraz's Newest Effort "Letter" Perfect

Jason Mraz embodies earthy, grounded family values. He's the sort you wouldn't mind having a glass of lemonade with. The new "Love is a Four Letter Word" contains several songs equally refreshing. It's a joy to fall backwards through Jason's universe of wonder as portrayed in "The World As I See It". "I Won't Give Up" is as reassuring as a pre-bedtime lullaby only in this case Jason's vowing to stick with a relationship despite the annoyances. You'll be won over by the breeziness of "In The Moment". It's a nice slab of advice for anyone either lamenting the past or dreading the future. Entering the world of his craft means you, the listener, must trade in your business suit and power lunch for a pair of Birkenstocks and a spontaneous spirit. This set's a great primer for his blue-eyed soul creations. Nice to know there's at least one pop star capable of seeing the glass as half full. One surmises he might even see it three-quarters full. Either way his return is welcome.
