A COOL SONG FOR THIS HOT WEATHER

Hello Friends,

It’s been really hot here in Atlanta this week. I need me some cold refreshing drink with a serving of a cool song from one of my favorite artistes. That will do the trick- :-)

You probably heard this song in a commercial on TV. Yes, it’s that good. A song doesn’t make it to the adverts if it’s not.

I serve you healthy and refreshing musical goodness from 33 year old Jason Mraz. Singer/Songwriter from Virginia who released his debut album in 2002. He hit the airwaves big-time and commercially in 2008. His single “I’m yours” topped the charts on the Billboards. It remains one of his best. It was nominated for ‘Song of the Year’ 2009 at the 51^st Grammy awards.

Jason’s musical influences are widely drawn from reggae, pop, jazz, folk, rock and more. He blends with all, culturally and appeals to all, globally. I personally love the simple chords and the addictive ‘sing-alongness’ of the hook of “I’m Yours”. It is mature yet youthful, danceable yet easy listening, reggae-ish yet pop-ish feel. It’s just plain, plain cool.

The lyrics are believable, encouraging and soul soothing. The music is lined with acoustic ingenuity; he has a unique way of playing with his syllables when he sings. His voice is unique, the type you will recognize with earplugs plugged in. What makes a good song? The music, the lyrics and I will say the personality of the singer too. Jason comes across as sweet and down to earth, and that comes through in his songs.

This song is a 5-Star, healthy and fresh all the way. I call it an everlasting summer song, you call it 'COOL'!!?. You are entitled to my opinion, anyday :-) .
