Yes! Jason Mraz is releasing a new album... fittingly titled Yes!. Today (May 19), the chilled out, heartworming singer-songwriter announced his fifth studio album, complete with a tracklist and the lead single "Love Someone."
According to Billboard, Yes! is due to hit stores on July 15, via Atlantic Records. Mraz is leading off the album with the driving acoustic romance ballad "Love Someone." Recalling the likes of Glen Hansard, Mraz's words drip throughout the ballad, which builds and swells with dreamlike string arrangements.
The plucky acoustic guitar and an undercurrent of deep orchestra instruments build the foundation of "Love Someone," which is made full-on atmospheric through the skillful use of background singers.
Like his Love Is A Four Letter Word single "I Won't Give Up," "Love Someone" is almost sickeningly sick, made to be played at engagement parties, births and weddings, but as a softie, gosh, it's a pretty song.
Listen to "Love Someone" below:
The lead single is, of course, just one of 14 songs on Yes!. The album, which has no featured artists, contains song titles such as "It's so Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" and "Hello, You Beautiful Thing" as he continues to thaw even the iciest souls.
