Jamiroquai - Emergency On Planet Earth

Simply put Jamiroquai is the greatest musical group I've ever come across and that is NO exaggeration. Up until discovering this group, Tribe has held that title for a good 6 years or so. I am shocked that it took me this long to stumble upon this group but I'm very grateful that I did. Jamiroquai is a British jazz/funk/disco/dance/electronica group who has essentially changed its core sound over each album they have produced. From the organic, laid-back vibes in this album to the harder hitting rhythms of Dynamite this group has something for everyone. The lead man for the group is named Jay Kay and has been compared (MANY TIMES) to Stevie Wonder which is quite some praise. The rest of the group consists of a bunch of musicians who are shuffled in and out between albums but who are supremely talented.

I kid you not...I listen to this group for hours each day (sometimes into the wee hours of the morning).

This debut album is about as good as a debut album can get with it going platinum and soaring to number 1 on the UK Album Chart.

I will be doing a review of each of their albums because each brings unique elements to the table.















If you need a link hit me up.

Sorry but i think they suck

im hesitant on most of your recs, but the few songs ive heard from them have been good. I heard them in FIFA games...

Is this the cat that had that hit Virtual Insanity or something like that?

yes

This group is absolutely not for everyone. If you aren't down with funk/disco/dance then you most likely won't enjoy them.

Hip hop has been quite ordinary and boring recently so I'm making a conscious effort to branch out and expand my music tastes outside its realms.

I prefer to get my Stevie Wonder from Stevie Wonder.

Some suggestions: Amon Tobin, Do Make Say Think, the album in my avatar.

have fun

I read somewhere in a Redman interview that if he could work with anybody it would be Jamiroquai. He also said he had the biggest foot fetish of anybody in the game haha

LMAO!!

The dude does sound just like 'em....

Anyway, Jamiroquai is and always was a fantastic group IMO. Big fan of "Return Of The Space Cowboy" & "Synkronized".

I bet everyone remembers Napoleon Dynamite dancing to "Canned Heat". Classic song:
