It Feels Fresh
In a world of corporate radio cramming talentless and stupid songs down our throat, I find this one surprising. Have to admit, when I heard "featuring Colbie Cailat" I let out a groan and my expectations were low (I am NOT a fan). But, I love it.

Why? HARMONY. I mean, it's an actual duet. Not the crap that's usually put out there as a duet between a couple artists where I-sing-and-then-you-sing-and-then-we'll-sing-together-but-usually-the-same-notes-so-we-don't-get-confused. There's actual harmony in this song...and it even varies a little with some counter-melody. I didn't think anyone knew how to do that anymore!

So, even though the song is simplistic (it's a bit cheesy to the point that I thought Cailat might have written it, but then the sound of it just wasn't hers), I enjoy it. It's pure in it's vocals (we don't always need a bunch of production and guitar and noise) and a little more complex than it sounds.

Biggest reason to like it? Like so many Mraz songs, I just feel happy when I hear it. The intro puts a smile on my face and I can't help it. For someone who usually likes angst-ridden music, that's saying a lot!

Love Lucky
This song hits close to home. If you are happy and in love, then you will be able to really appreciate this song. Granted, there are many songs out there that already have the same type of content, but they are mostly over-played. This is a new love song to enjoy that reminds you to be appreciative of what you have in life, which is definitely need in this economy. I love Jason Mraz's song and Colbie Caillat really adds a great hint of femininity to this song without making it too mushy. I give it an "A."

There is no doubt about Jason Mraz this past year. He really showed that he can make more mature songs as a singer, rather than being someone who has been a novelty the past several years on songs like The Remedy and Wordplay. He definitely has shown a lot of depth as a songwriter well with his last single I'm Yours, and now his latest single shows he is not about to be in the spotlight alone. His latest work, Lucky, partnered with Colbie Caillat who scored big last year with bubbly, on his second single from We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is a very mellow intimate duet. The two of them have good chemistry, but unfortunately, I was a bit dissapointed that the song was a bit short. I honestly thought it could've been longer. It isn't a bad song, but should've had more appeal in time. I do hope though that they could do more good songs together though. Colbie is a very simplistic singer, and Jason has grown nicely.
