Writing about Jamiroquai, which is something I've been meaning to do for a long time, is not as well-known today, is not as relevant today, but he was a key person in the 90s because he was the greatest exponent of that small movement that re-emerged from the somewhat funky new jazz scene that had emerged in the early 90s.
So let's start
Jamiroquai is a British funk and acid jazz band, founded in 1992 by the charismatic singer Jay Kay, who is the face and main voice of the group. Their music combines elements of funk, jazz, disco and pop, and they have been recognized for both their innovative sound and their impressive music videos and the energy of their live performances.
Jake is also a huge collector and semi-professional car racer. He has over 100 super luxury sports cars, some of which were made just for him. And for those of you who see him play this car show, it is so famous that they put famous people to do fast laps in utility cars. You should know that James Boyle and Jake and the singer Dee Jay Miro Point have the absolute speed record on the gear-change circuit, ahead of many racers.
Let's go to the music, which is what is important. During the first years in the 90s, there was a kind of resurgence of acid jazz, very decaffeinated, within London, and Jake came out there, which was a success already very basic because it was like that funky return that was so easy to listen to. It's like the resurgence of challenges and influences in funky music within commercial music, and there were already great songs coming out.
"Virtual Insanity" (1996)
"Cosmic Girl" (1996)
"Canned Heat" (1999)
"Deeper Underground" (1998)
"Space Cowboy" (1994)
"Alright" (1997)
"Love Foolosophy" (2001)
Jamiroquai have sold over 26 million records worldwide and have won several awards, including a Grammy in 1998 for Travelling Without Moving. Their ability to evolve and stay fresh while staying true to their roots has been key to their longevity and success.
