SYDNEY, Australia (Sony BMG Australia) - We're SUPER excited to announce that
Jamiroquai release their new studio album 'Dynamite' on June 20, featuring the first single 'Feels Just Like It Should' - a ramped up, high-octane slab of organic funk that says Jay Kay is back with a vengeance!
It's been thirteen year since
Jamiroquai main-man Jay Kay appeared on the scene - a skinny white kid with a skateboard, a passion for vintage rare groove and a bizarre 'Buffalo' hat. Twenty million albums, four world tours and 141 weeks on the UK singles chart later, Jay Kay has morphed from poster boy of the early nineties acid jazz revolution to international music (and hat) icon, delivering some of freshest, funkiest sounds our ears have ever been served with and it's about to get a whole lot better...
Start getting excited peeps because the new Jamiroquai studio album, 'Dynamite,' will be released on on June 20 and we can say it's been worth the four year wait since 'A Funk Odyssey' - this is an amazing, kickbutt return to form.
Written and recorded over two years in Spain, Italy, Costa Rica, Scotland, New York, Los Angeles and his own purpose built Buckinghamshire studio, 'Dynamite' is both a consolidation of thirteen years of Jamiroquai's trademarked sci-fi sound and a cocky, two fingers to anyone who thinks that at 35, Kay might be resting on his country pile.
"You've always got something to prove in this game," Jay says. "But the bottom line is I still love it. I love the thrill of seeing a track come together, and with this album we've been sitting with tracks, meticulously going through them, changing things, getting it right."
And if you need proof, just listen out for first single 'Feels Just Like It Should', already tearing it up at Oz radio....set for release on June 6, this is a ramped-up, high-octane snarl - Jamiroquai's organic funk put through a digital grinder and pinned to a filthy groove.
"Yeah, it's really filthy. And that bass groove came from me pissing about as a human beatbox. You hear it and think what the f**k's this? If you haven't had an album out in four years you want to have an impact, and this says it, I'm back with a vengeance."
Hear 'ear! Expect to see the hot hot HOT video for 'Feels Just Like It Should' on your TV screens very soon. And stay tuned for news of Jamiroquai's world tour - word is we can expect to see Jay Kay and co funkin up our part of the woods once again by the end of the year.
The new Jamiroquai single 'Feels Just Like It Should' out June 6.
The new album 'Dynamite' out June 20.
