Jason Mraz is living full spiral. It's not full circle, exactly, because he's changed and his experiences have changed, but on his eighth album, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, the musician has found himself returning to a familiar junction in space. The new songs, which are unabashedly pop, see Mraz reuniting with numerous collaborators, including Los Angeles band Raining Jane and producer Martin Terefe, who helmed 2008's We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. In fact, as Mraz looked at the number eight, he instead saw an infinity sign.

The songs on Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride harken back to 2014, when Mraz worked with Raining Jane on his fifth album, YES!. Although the four-piece group has continued to record and tour with Mraz, the musicians have always wanted to recreate that experience of making an entire album in tandem. Mraz and Raining Jane wrote together throughout the pandemic, going on writing retreats whenever they could. Although Mraz had explored the reggae genre on his 2020 album Look For the Good, this time the musicians decided to go full pop an idea that emerged at the request of Mraz's mom June.

While making the album was creatively fruitful, it also marked a difficult time for Mraz, who lost his stepfather on the final day of recording. His mom, to whom the album is dedicated, fell sick shortly after. The events underscored much of what Mraz and Raining Jane had explored lyrically on the album. The songs grapple with the emotions and experiences that come with being in your mid-40s, a time that is often ignored by pop songwriters. But even from a place of darkness, Mraz found that gleam of positivity, which threads through Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride.

For Mraz, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride is another step forward on the unpredictable journey of life. Its optimistic, inspiring sensibility reflects the musician's overall approach to being in the world. He continues to run his organic home farm, Mraz Family Farms, which grows coffee and avocados, and his nonprofit the Jason Mraz Foundation, which has a mission of shining for inclusive arts education, food security and the advancement of equality.

He donated all of the profits from Look For The Good to various charities, and actively advocates for equality, climate preservation and arts education. Mraz, a two-time Grammy winner, Songwriters Hall of Fame Honoree and spokesman for the Good Tidings Foundation, always aims to use his position to empower others and inspire real-world change and positivity.

It's something he will carry with him as he moves into the next spiral, and one after that, and into infinity.
