After a four year hiatus, Jason Mraz is finally back with a new album. He definitely had a high bar to reach with this album, as his last album "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things." reached number three on the Billboard charts, and the smash single "I'm Yours", has become the eighth best-selling digital track in the U.S. So far, his new album "Love Is A Four Letter Word," has been moderately successful on the charts but has a long way to go if it is going to live up to his last record.
Sun Airway is an older Philadelphia-based band that's signed to indie label Dead Oceans, but making a huge splash in the music world.
