Ok, I admit it. Jason Mraz MySpace has become a guilty pleasure of mine.

mraz“Remedy” iTunes was of course a catchy hit, but I never really followed up, perhaps being turned off by the skewed hat and target audience of 14 year old girls. Over the holidays however, in an effort to get in touch with my inner teenager I borrowed Mraz’s latest album Mr. A-Z iTunes from my 17 year-old brother in law, along with Yellowcard, Good Charlotte, and of course Dashboard Confessional. (I have determined that Dashboard Confessional truely can’t be enjoyed by anyone whose brain has developed past their teenage years. I think it’s physiological.)

Mraz’s music can only be categorized as Pop. Not quite rock, but not R&B. Regardless of what it is, each time I listen I find come to the same startling realization: This guy is really good. He’s got a gorgeous voice, fun lyrics, and can just plain write great music. My personal favorites are “Life is Wonderful”, “Wordplay”, “Did You Get My Message”, and “Plane”.
