New Jason Mraz

White_Rabbit

Mr. Trixter
His new single, Wordplay, is now available on iTunes and its off his upcoming album, Mr. A-Z, coming out July 26. I'll post the lyrics here, but to really realize how grammy-deserving or at least songwriting award-deserving he is, you should really just hear it. Buy it on iTunes and have a listen yourself.

Wordplay

I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that in my scene
'Cause they need a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Got to find another way to live the life of leasure
So I drop my top
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

(chorus)
Ha La La La La
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
(Ha La La La La)
It's all about the wordplay
(Ha La La La Love)
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mister A-Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

And it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people toungue-tied
You want a new song
Like a new religeon
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the poeple write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Got to find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay

(chorus)

I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness
It always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't which way my brain is goin'
Oh the ryhmin' and the timin'
Keeps the melodies inside me
And they're comin'
Til I'm running out of air
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
Are you listening to a single word I've said

Ha La La La La
Listen closely to the words I say
Ha La La La La
We're sticken' to the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mister A-Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

Ha La La La La
I'm all about the wordplay
Ha La La La La
Stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's fall back in love
For the Mister A-Z they say
Is all about the wordplay
 
Sorry, but his new stuff is pretty awful compared to his indie days. :( I encourage you to do some searching around and find some of his old stuff. You can also buy Live At Java Joe's here. Once you hear this CD, you won't base his talent on songs like Wordplay, which aren't even comparable to this.
 
Well I have "Waiting for my rocket to come" which I LOVE!! But I will also buy his new album, I've listened to a few tracks and I think they're good :smiley:
