American singer and songwriter Jason Mraz started his musical career playing at coffee shops in San Diego, California.

International success came in 2008, with the hit I’m Yours, which is the main track of his third studio album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. Lucky, featuring singer Colbie Caillat, is also in Mraz’s third album. He came to know Caillat through MySpace, a social networking website that was popular among musicians who wanted to break into the industry. Mraz said in an interview that Lucky “was written back and forth with Colbie Caillat over e-mail”. The song won the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Music for Change
    LESSON B READING Music for Change track 2-08 From ending child slavery1 to teaching people about AIDS and A world peace, musicians around the world are spreading a message of hope. Jason Mraz: Singing for Freedom “If my music can contribute to happiness, then that’s my main responsibility,” says American singer and songwriter Jason Mraz. But B Mraz does more than make people happy. He wants to use his music to make a positive change and improve people’s lives. Mraz is working with an organization called Free the Slaves. Their goal is to stop child slavery, a serious issue in many parts of C the world. In Ghana, for example, parents who are very poor sometimes sell their own children into slavery. What inspired you to visit Ghana? Mraz: It started with “Freedom Song,” written by musician Luc Reynaud. I loved it, performed it, DI and passed it on to my friends at Free the Slaves. Later they sent me photos of kids in Ghana dancing and singing the song. Tell us about your trip. Mraz: I went to work with James Kofi Anan, a former child slave who has spent his adult life liberating2 slaves. He works to rescue children, [and] get them back to health. [He also] works with their parents to EJ make sure they can make a living so the children aren’t vulnerable3 to traffickers.4 I wrote several songs during my time in Ghana. I went back to my room every night [to compose] new songs about what I was seeing.
