After 2005's uneven "Mr. A-Z," Jason Mraz emerges even bolder than before on an album loaded with strings, horns, formidable grooves and a dozen songs dripping with mantra-like positivity. On opener "Make It Mine," he declares, "Wake up, everyone!" and provides a sonic alarm clock with a blast of brass, hand claps and a buoyant la-la-la vocal chorus. The single "I'm Yours" is a reggae love song, while "Coyotes" explores Latin flavors. "Only Human" boasts full beatnik mode, and "Dynamo" reverts to the lightning-speed vocals and clever wordplay that established Mraz on 2002's platinum "Waiting for My Rocket to Come." A collaboration with James Morrison on "Details in the Fabric" is melodramatic, but Colbie Caillat is a welcome presence on the rich, string-laden duet "Lucky."—Gary Graff
