Description:
The debut Platinum album featuring the singles 'Too Young To Die', 'Emergency On Planet Earth', 'Blow Your Mind' and 'When You Gonna Learn'. Jamiroquai's ten year odyssey through the galaxy of funk has generated some spectacular statistics. The four albums released since Jay Kay's 1992 emergence from London's acid jazz underworld have sold 16 million copies. The last two albums alone, 1996's Travelling Without Moving and 1999's Synkronized, shifted over 11 million between them. The first single, 1992's 'When You Gonna Learn?' was the instinctive expression of a London kid high on funk, soul, R&B, jazz and disco. Nearly a decade later however, it'd be reasonable if Kay felt vindicated. The one time 'skinny white skate kid' from west London has taken a lot of flak for getting on down his way, yet as trends have disintegrated and prejudices faded, contemporary music has come to *synkronize* with Jamiroquai's groove more than ever before. Boogie is back big time. From Paris discos to LA film sets the history of classic, pre-techno dance music has been rolled out as the new hip thing. Meanwhile Jamiroquai have moved on, ahead of the game, taking their funky fusion to the next level of evolution. As club music has matured, whatever boundaries were there separating Jamiroquai from a Daft Punk or a Basement Jaxx have become permeable : and Jay was there before them all. Young, cocky and full of funk, Jamiroquai is a spanner in the works for the theoreticians. If Bootsy Collins and Gil Scott Heron are giving you the thumbs up and contemporary hip hop names from Gang Starr's Guru to Busta Rhymes to Missy Elliot want to work with you or sample you, you must be doing a lot right. Couple that with the fact that, through the 90s, even the most dedicated media cynics were forced to accept that Jamiroquai have consistently been an amazing live band and you have a success story of serious proportions.
