I'm Yours": Uniknya Musik Kontemporer Jason Mraz

Agak sulit menyebut genre musik yang diusung Jason Mraz, musisi asal Virginia ini. Apakah pop, folk, jazz atau rock. Namun, kata sulit di sini lebih mengarah pada sesuatu yang positif. Banyaknya perpaduan jenis musik yang diramu Jason membuat lagu-lagunya terasa segar dan unik. Seperti lagu yang sedang kita dengarkan ini, “I’m Yours” yang merupakan single pertama dari album ketiganya berjudul “We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.” Musikalitas Jason yang tinggi bisa kita dengar dari lirik yang puitis, lagu dinamis, kemampuan vocal dan kepiawaiannya dalam meramu berbagai jenis musik seperti folk, pop, rock dan jazz menjadi suatu karya yang patut kita dengarkan berkali-kali. Beberapa kalangan musik menamakan musiknya ini alternative adult contemporary, atau musik alternative kontemporer. Masih kental dengan vokal tinggi dan bernyanyi dengan nada cepat, lagu yang sedikit santai dan cozy ini sangat cocok didengarkan saat bersantai di kamar, ketika mengendarai mobil atau sekedar menghilangkan kepenatan. Meskipun durasi lagunya cukup lama, 4:03 menit, lagunya terasa begitu cepat karena bisa menenangkan hati dan membuat pikiran rileks. Selain lagu ini, Anda juga akan menyukai lagunya yang lain, “Geek in the Pink” yang merupakan single dari album keduanya “MR.A-Z” dimana Jason memamerkan sedikit kemampuannya menyanyi hip-hop.
