Who sounds like Jamiroquai?

I'm really into Jamiroquai right now. I have A FUNK ODYSSEY & TRAVELING WITHOUT MOVING. I really like their sound, especially the upbeat ones like "Little L." Are there any other bands I should check out (past or present) that have a similar sound?

Actually I just started listening to Stevie Wonder today for the first time. INNERVISIONS is a great CD.

I just hate how Jay K. gets unfairly compared to Stevie. I used to think that myself, but then I started really listening. They're not the same.

Nope. They're not. Stevie's much much better. smile I think it's clear that he's a big fan of Stevie, and it shows in his music and singing style.

Sure, but I don't like how people just write Jay as this Stevie-wannabe. Are they gonna do that with every white boy with soul?

I wasn't writing him off, nor was I making that comparison to any white artist that makes that kinda music. Just stating that he's obviously influenced by Stevie.

I agree. I definitely think that Maroon 5 has that Jamiroquai sound. The lead guy sounds like Jay Kay.

HAVE YOU HEARD

Gil Scott-Heron's Race Track in France? Jamiroquai have seemingly based their entire output on that one record. neutral

I've never understood the Stevie Wonder comparison.

Try the debut CD by JuniorSenior .They're a Danish duo that specializes in electro-pop,and their 2003 hit "Move Your Feet" sounds like something Jamiroquai would do.It's got that retro-disco sound,not unlike many of the tracks on Jamiroquai's last album.
