DESCRIPTION:
1994 Acid Jazz / Funk & Soul LP Repressed on Heavyweight Vinyl with Gatefold Sleeve & Free MP3 Of LP
Jamiroquai's sophomore record had all the slinky grooves and great musicianship of the debut, but it also offered a better set of songs and more ambitious musical themes. As with Emergency on Planet Earth, Jason Kay's dead-on impression of Stevie Wonder and Sly Stone drives the group's blend of acid jazz and funky R&B. "Space Cowboy" and "Light Years" were hits all over the world, and made the band stars in Europe and Japan, while substantial clubplay earned them a degree of recognition for American audiences. But Jamiroquai refused to be known as simply a party band; the group takes on social issues such as homelessness and Native Americans' rights.

Jamiroquai are an English acid jazz and funk band formed in London in 1992. The group is led by vocalist Jay Kay, who has remained the sole consistent member throughout multiple lineup changes. They initially became associated with the London acid jazz movement of the early 1990s and later incorporated influences from rock, disco, electronic music, and Latin styles. Their lyrics have frequently focused on social and environmental themes.
Jamiroquai first recorded under Acid Jazz Records before signing with Sony, where they achieved mainstream commercial success. Several of their albums reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, including "Emergency on Planet Earth" (1993), "Synkronized" (1999), and "A Funk Odyssey" (2001). Their 1998 single "Deeper Underground" also topped the UK Singles Chart.
By 2017, the band had sold more than 26 million albums worldwide. Their third studio album, "Travelling Without Moving" (1996), was recognized by Guinness World Records as the best-selling funk album in history. The success of its single "Virtual Insanity", whose music video won Video of the Year at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and earned a Grammy Award in 1998, played a significant role in expanding the band’s international prominence.
