Taking a heavily electronic route, acid-jazz/funk veterans Jamiroquai have managed to keep most elements of their signature sound intact.
True to form, there's some tasty ad-libbing and driving bass lines that'll drag you deep down into the groove. Vitamin is instantly gripping and the title track, featuring lyrics referencing the moon and "metal eyes", set the tone for the futuristic feel of the album. It's a glitchy treat, with melodically interesting verses that outdo the chorus. Some outros, especially prominent on Dr Buzz, boast a climactic jumble of ascending synths, hi-hat-heavy drum breaks and even some sultry sax solos for good measure.
There are a few tracks that do initially come across as confusing, taking abrupt winding chord progressions that swerve off into unexpected directions. Jittery synths and vocoders colour the majority of this release, which can feel overwhelming at times, especially when most songs step over the

Last FM Information on Jamiroquai

Jamiroquai is an English funk and acid jazz band from London. Formed in 1992, they are fronted by vocalist Jay Kay, and were prominent in the London-based funk and acid jazz movement of the 1990s. They built on their acid jazz sound in their early releases and later drew from rock, disco, electronic and Latin music genres. Lyrically, the group has addressed social and environmental justice. Kay has remained as the only original member through several line-up changes.
The band made their debut under Acid Jazz Records but subsequently found mainstream success under Sony. While under this label, three of their albums have charted at number one in the UK, including Emergency on Planet Earth (1993), Synkronized (1999) and A Funk Odyssey (2001). The band's 1998 single, "Deeper Underground", was also number one in their native country.
As of 2017, Jamiroquai had sold more than 26 million albums worldwide. Their third album, Travelling Without Moving (1996), received a Guinness World Record as the best-selling funk album in history. The music video for its lead single, "Virtual Insanity", also contributed to the band's success. The song was named Video of the Year at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and earned the band a Grammy Award in 1998.
