coffee break

very rarely do one listens to an album from the first track to its last. honestly, even the most emo-esque rob thomas have that so so tracks, otherwise known as filler tracks in his solo debut album (something to be). though i love the unreleased last track, now comes the night. i fondly remember those early years that artists releases 6-8 tracks from their album. however times have change, with the exception of the debut album of pussycat dolls (PCD) , let’s pray for the old times. in hindsight, i  now appreciate itunes‘ 99cent song.

i’ve been a fan of jason mraz from the day i got myself a copy of his waiting for my rocket to come. from the new releases section of tower records, i picked his cd having been intrigued by the album title. since i promised myself 2 new cds a month and to explore new sounds,  i bought a copy. to date, this is the only cd i listen end to end religiously. i like how the tracks are arranged, progressing and slowing down like the emotional wreck that i am.  immediately i got a liking to the song no stopping us. lately i’ve listening  heavily to you and i both listed as my most listened track in itunes. i think it’s my need to connect to other people and share my life. beside from those 2 songs, the entire album simply hugs your ear and give your that warm fuzzy feeling, i enjoy his songs tremendously.

i just bought his 3rd album, we sing, we dance, we steal things. yes, it’s really good as it claims to be. the carrier single i’m yours have this island feel from the ukulele accompaniment and from the way he sang it. it’s as if he was whispering to my ear, telling me to surrender to love. i’m yours! i give up! he is one of those underrated artists. he deserve more hurrah compared to britney spears but in today’s fanaticism, sensationalism and false glamour, we put more premium to the person rather than the talent. i really hope that he does well so i can listen to more beautiful music and cool lyrics.
