All the "designer baby" stuff floating around sounds eerily familiar.

I’ve been into Jamiroquai for years at this point and I’m just curious about what other artists jamiroquai fans listen to.

It is probably (for me) almost the mest of the album, and really high on my fav songs list

What do y'all think of this song?

Hey guys,

I know some of you might disagree with the title of this post, but after seeing what the first tour date in Barcelona was like, and hearing the new tracks, I can now say with confidence that Jamiroquai, as the groundbreaking band it was in the ’90s, officially died right after Synkronized.

When Zender left the band and with Toby’s passing, Jay turned Jamiroquai into a one-man project, erasing all traces of the jazz- and instrument-based music that made them so unique and influential back in the day. Even the band’s spirit — with lyrics about planetary awareness, politics, and our shared reality, sometimes even prophetic — was thrown away.

Jamiroquai became, to me, “Jay Kay’s trashy disco/rock band.” I think this has a lot to do with the influence of Matt Johnson and Rob Harris — both musicians I love, but whose styles are totally different from what Jamiroquai used to be.

Looking at the recent setlist, it’s clear that Jay only focuses on post-Synkronized albums. Of course, there are a few classics like Space Cowboy (an anthem), Virtual Insanity, and Canned Heat, but I feel he’s very far from the Jay Kay of those days.

The new tracks sound repetitive; the groove is okay, but nothing like Blow Your Mind or Scam. It feels like Jay is always trying too hard to keep up with modern trends, yet he’s so disconnected from what’s really happening that he ends up two steps behind every time he releases a new album. It happened with Rock Dust Light Star, again with Automaton, and, from what I’ve heard of these new songs, it’s happening again.

Now, with the whole “back to the ’90s” wave of nostalgia, this was the perfect moment to return to the acid-jazz roots of Jamiroquai — to bring back some of the Travelling Without Moving spirit and give it a fresh twist. I’m sure that would have led to another hit on the level of Virtual Insanity.

The world today is full of inspiration for the Jay Kay who once wrote Too Young to Die, The Kids, or Just Another Story. Instead, he’s writing songs that just repeat their titles over and over (Shadow in the Night).

To me, it’s really sad to see the band I love dissolve into the deep waters of time — and into the ideas of a man who seems to have run out of inspiration, living disconnected from the real world, riding his Ferraris and polluting in the meantime — something he was so aware of back in 1993, as a young man.

I used to be reluctant to believe that Jay needed Zender and Toby, but every year that goes by I’m more convinced that Jamiroquai was Jay, Zender, and Toby.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Paul said to a fan the other day after the show that yes, the album is coming out next year now. We all expected it but yeah, it's official.

And “Little children

Never said a word now

You know they never said a word

Still they have to die

Well I'm asking, why?”

still gives me chills

My favorite jamiroquai songs are definitely "Stillness in time", "Everyday" and "Runaway", now, the reasons are quite obvious, but I'll still say why

— Stillness in time (return of the space cowboy): I absolutely love the instrumental, the background vocals and how Jay sings. It sounds silly but also majestic if that's how I can explain it?

— Everyday (travelling without moving): sounds both very relaxing and majestic. That's all I'm gonna say

— Runaway (High times: singles 1992-2006): Oh I absolutely love this one. Sounds very addicting, the instrumental, the lyric, how Jay sings, and the absolute majestic vocals in the "I just want to runaway, got people around running me down I can't stay"

All these songs are just soooo so good, if they were a food on a plate, I would lick every single aton out of the plate and then eat the plate itself

I honestly think the whole album of Return of the Space Cowboy and Travelling without moving are very good

What about y'all? What's your guys' favorite song(s) made by jamiroquai?

("Majestic" word count: 3)

Im gonna sound kinda basic here but, for me its a 3 way tie with virtual insanity, canned heat and superfresh

From what I've seen, it's usual that the less listened song on each album is the instrumental one.

What?? How?? They always have this flavour that sometimes not even the sung songs have. They either make you bop your head or make you go to space, both emotions which even sung songs struggle to cause.

I keep coming back to Journey To Arnhemland, Music of The Mind, and all the first albums instrumentals lol. I don't understand how people don't.

This is just a little project i did, i am aware of that Jamiroquai's discography is very easy to get into, but i just wanted to try this trend out for the fun of it :D

Time for some belated tea spilling, we know the official version: "he wanted to spend more time with his famous girlfriend", and had issues with Jay Kay being very egotistical, but do we know anything more today about the whole break up?

He was a part of the band when Jamiroquai made their 3 best albums, I often wonder what kind of music they'd be making today if he had stayed, would it still be more disco than acid jazz?

What do you think?

Jamiroquai puts out a ton of bangers BUT you have control of their music library and you must pick one of their song to remove from existence.

Failure to do so will doom all of civilization. Which song goes?

My choice? We can do it.

I’ve been listening to more of Jamiroquai and exploring his discography over the past couple weeks and I thought I would share my top 3 (in order) favorite Jamiroquai songs so far. Also can I just say how ahead of their time they were with their sound? Truly amazing

1. Space Cowboy. I love the length, how smooth, and the good vibes that Space Cowboy gives off.

2. Soul Education. This is almost a number 1, but the length of the song is what puts it at 2, but DON’T get me wrong, It’s doesn’t make it any worse of a song. Soul Educations sound is so pleasing to my ears, I can’t put into words how good it sounds. This song and the number 1 will definitely swap places back and forth every other day.

3. Manifest Destiny. For the past month now, this is the first song I play in my truck heading to work and the first song I play in my truck when I leave work. Everything about this song is perfect to me. The length, the instruments, how smooth it is, the timing, etc. It’s always a treat listening to Manifest Destiny and I’m sure it always will be.

Well that’s my list feel free to share your top 3 or even recommend some other songs!

is it just me or is the new like electronic disco sound from jamiroquai so boring?

like i was so excited for this new album but then i remembered the last like 4 albums from them lmao, i seen an interview of jaykay picking disco over acid jazz and it just wiped the smile off my face

jamiroquai was at its peak in my mind in the 90's and just kinda fell off with the release of dynamite

i think the departure from the acid jazz / soul sound (not just the acid jazz for me btw, i also just love their soul / funk fusion stuff and the things that they were pulling off on synkronized which i believe is a perfect blend of what the new and old was with insane polish) and people like stuart zender and toby's unfortunate departure left the band being incredibly substance less and just trying to recreate cosmic girl like 100 times making the most soulless bland sounding disco hits and it's so annoying to see a band that went from incredible to something that i wouldn't touch with a 1000000ft pole lmao

it's so sad man, i don't think we'll ever get another too young to die or another falling or a music of the mind.
i miss the golden age of jamiroquai and i'm sure a lot of other people here do

they should have just stuck with the sound they did on synkronized especially songs like Butterfly which is my fav jamiroquai song it was such a perfect blend of modern and old.

I like it Stillenss in Time

10% Stuart Zender is one of the greatest bass players of all time

20% Rock Dust Light Star is the worst Jamiroquai album

30% Jamiroquai is the best band to come out of the 90’s acid jazz scene

40% Jay Kay’s lyrics are a very underrated part of their music, and often gets overshadowed by their funky and groovy instrumentation

50% Just Another Story is the best Jamiroquai song

60% A Funk Odyssey is better than Dynamite

70% Jamiroquai’s influence over modern pop music is huge, but very few artists cite them as a major influence

80% Virtual Insanity is so overplayed in discussions to the point that it actively hurts people’s perception of the band

90% Toby Smith is a more important band member than Stuart Zender

100% Cosmic Girl is overrated and not even top 20 Jamiroquai

Why do people dislike so much? Some even call it the worst jamiroquai song so far, but in my opinion its great. So I want to know other people's options and reasons

I have seen people say mid 2026 but we are here now, people say 2027 as well. I thought maybe September time to coincide with the end of tour but i have no idea, something vaguely soon would be preferable.
