Take
soft rock, give it both fast and slow tempos, mix in an intriguing
voice with impressive lyrics, and get Jason Mraz's newest
album, an album that aims to deliver a musical experience
you wont soon forget.
The
music has an almost hip-hop and reggae like trait buried underneath
the consistent rock melody. Mraz sounds very similar to Freddie
Mercury (Queen) during songs like "Absolutely Zero", almost
causing a double check of the album cover to see if Freddie
was really in there. His voice is smooth and uplifting, and
his guitar playing is overflowing with talent. Those looking
for the next Dave Matthews should look no further. The unique
fusion of many different genres creates a sound that identifies
Mraz instantly. His music is poetry, being deep, moody, and
witty all at the same time. The music is very real, very personal,
and not about money and women like 90% of music today. It
becomes emotional and grabs you in based on its purity and
form. Just like Dredg, Jason Mraz provides a musical experience
that is purely original and has yet to be copied.
Mraz's
live performances are supposedly even better then the CD itself.
Those looking for the incredibly catchy and soothing Dave
Matthews like musical experience should definitely check out
this album.
