Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up

Atlantic recording artist Jason Mraz has announced details of his hugely anticipated new album, including by popular demand, a new release date. “LOVE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD” – which includes the heartfelt hit single, “I Won’t Give Up” – will now arrive in stores and at all digital retailers on April 17th. Produced by multiple GRAMMY® Award-winner Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, Christina Perri, Young The Giant), “LOVE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD” marks Mraz’s finest, most fully realized collection to date (see attached tracklisting). Fueled by magnificently textured arrangements and distinctive vocal landscapes, the album – Mraz’s fourth studio release and first new collection since 2008’s epochal “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” – fully confirms the San Diego-based singer/songwriter as one of modern pop’s most vibrant and inventive artists. “It’s personal. It’s melodic. And it’s mellow,” Mraz recently told Billboard. “There’s a couple of up-tempo tunes, but mostly the rhythm-of-the-heartbeat kind of takes precedence on this record. It feels more like the pace of life. At least, based on my life and what I’ve been doing.”
