VIA PRESS RELEASE | Multi-GRAMMY Award winner and Songwriters Hall of Fame Honoree Jason Mraz announced today 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, will be available September 22 via Atlantic/Rhino. Fans can preorder the release here.
Mraz has released a sneak peek of the exclusive offerings on the album with “Lucky (Jason’s First Draft).” The never-before-heard demo reveals the first draft of the GRAMMY-Award winning duet recorded with Colbie Caillat, which is now RIAA-certified 4x Platinum. “Lucky (Jason’s First Draft)” is streaming here, and a visualizer for the song is viewable here. In addition, the official music video for “Lucky” has been remastered in HD and can be viewed here.
Other tracks on the album include acoustic versions of the GRAMMY-winning song “Make It Mine,” fan favorites “Butterfly,” “Coyotes,” “Only Human,” “The Dynamo of Volition,” and “If It Kills Me,” as well as an unreleased demo of “Details In The Fabric” and the first “I’m Yours” demo. 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 3.4 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. In addition, the 3-LP set will be available on a very limited run of crystal-clear vinyl, exclusively at Mraz’s webstore here.
Mraz’s most recent album, 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 producer Martin Terefe as well as Raining Jane, Austin, TX’s 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.
Currently finishing up the Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride Tour, today Mraz announced a homecoming concert following the nationwide trek: a free show presented in association with the San Diego Symphony at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park on Wednesday, August 23.
