King For A Day was directed at Zender.

"King For A Day" is the band's best-ever album closer. The string-and-piano driven track ends the record on a memorable note. Though its lyric is a biting snub (rumored to be directed toward Zender), the song's instrumental track ends the album on an upward note, far from the darker funk displayed on the middle tracks. http://www.nudeasthenews....eviews/989

Absolutely love Jamiroquai!!!!

It's a shame that they're ignored in the States.Their songs should be all over R&B radio stations.

That's my son's favourite Jamiroquai song.

Love Jay Kay and Jamiroquai. More relevant, more recent hits, better live and generally funkier and better than...Prince.

There. i said it.

Why? Or am I missing some sarcasm?

Their slow jams are impressive too!

"Falling" (1999)


"Everyday" (1996)

more concert dates for 2010

Summer gigs in Switzerland and Spain

Jamiroquai will be performing on 14 July at the Moon and Stars Festival in Locarno, Switzerland. More information can be found at www.moonandstarslocarno.ch.

Additionally, it looks like the band will be playing on 9 July at the Marbella Futbol Stadium in Marbella, Spain as part of the Marbella Sun Festival.

Please remember to check the official site over the coming days and weeks for confirmation of this and other Summer 2010 festival dates.

MUCH respect to Jamiroquai. they're actual musicians & singers.. they have their influences but also their own distinct sound. I like several of their songs, but my 2 favorites are

LITTLE L

&

SO GOOD TO FEEL REAL
which MUST exist in some (studio) recorded form LONGER than 2 minutes..!

looking forward to their new album..

yeah,we need a longer version of this song.It sounds like an unfinished demo,but it rocks!

if you guys go to Youtube,check out the 'A Funk Odyssey' test pressing! Someone posted all the songs.They even found an unreleased song from that album:

"Do It Like We Used To" (outtake from 'A Funk Odyssey' (2001)

'A Funk Odyssey' TEST PRESSING: the original,extended version of "You Give Me Something"

'A Funk Odyssey' test pressing has leaked: here are the details


Though many songs are the same length as they appeared on the final album configuration, a few were extended cuts. "Feel So Good" and "You Give Me Something" featured longer introductions with percussion, while "Twenty Zero One" expanded by over three minutes. Several of the mixes were different; "Little L" featured extra percussion while "Corner of the Earth", "Picture of My Life" and "Black Crow" featured different variations of the vocals, either by phrasing or enunciation. "Do It Like We Used to Do" was featured in an edited form, and "So Good to Feel Real" was the only song left untouched. Interestingly, "Main Vein" featured no lead vocals and only the background singers. A popular fan interpretation is that this song was written about Denise van Outen, Jay's ex-girlfriend, but from her perspective; the song would have thus featured a female vocalist and would showcase the same fight shown in "Little L" but from Denise's perspective. The test pressing also featured three interludes. The first featured Jay in an electronically manipulated monologue asking why Jay would want to "shut down the funk assembly unit." The second interlude was a beatbox track which was later used in the single "Feels Just Like It Should", while the third featured Strauss' "The Blue Danube" being faded in slowly at a low volume. A case of (possibly intentional) synchronicity occurs when the test pressing is played to Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

A Funk Odyssey TEST PRESSING: "Twenty Zero One" (extended version nearly 9 minutes long!)

SoulAlive said:

Yes, they should've. Discrimination? I think so.

SoulAlive said:

You are right they didn't get much airplay,"Virtual Insanity" I think most of the artist think about visual music (videos) since you have Internet etc. They were on heavy rotation on mtv and vh1soul back then.

florescent said:

I love that song too..

LOVE LOVE LOVE him/them

One of my all time faves:

Orger Marrk: I love Jamiroquai. But Prince is one of the artist that pave the way. I belief he's going to get back funker.
Thank You for posting orger Marrk.

TD3 said:

Orger TD3 Back then and now the artist used internet and cable stations for marketing themselves so radio is not the only Ave. Thank you for posting.

What are you talking about? I simply stated that group music should have been played on R&B radio, it wasn't. I believe there was a perception these gent's didn't fit the image of a R&B/Soul group in the United States of America.

But you are welcome all the same.
