Does he have good music? i've already downloaded some of his albums, but so far i have just listened Virtual Insanity.

"He"? "His"? You mean "they" and "their".

Jamiroquai is the name of the BAND, not of it's singer.

You get it right? give and answer then.

some "Automaton" Tourdates have just been announced! Now on sale on Jamiroquai.com

Sigh...I guess these are the places they've historically received most of their support.

Thanks for the update guys!!! I'm looking forward to the new album. Hopefully, a couple of their singles will be released soon.

what i've heard thus-far

sounds like the same computerised UNfunky crap they've been doing for a while now...

I just heard the new song! It's very electronic/Daft Punk-ish,very 80s.....it has a really cool bridge/breakdown part where the music changes completely (is Jay rapping?)....I like it

Thank you for the link!

I listened a few times. It didn't "grab" me on first listen, but I believe it's going to grow on me. This style of music is what's hot, so they may have a hit on their hands.

I prefer music where the instruments are distinguishable. With a nice guitar, bass, piano, sax, or drum break maybe..



And yes that is Jay rapping! Sounding so fresh and so young :

It didn't "grab" me on first listen,either.But after repeated listening,I really like it now.It's a cool electronic sound for Jamiroquai.They have toyed with this sound on previous albums but now it seems like they're going all in with it.The concept is interesting and very timely (living in a cold digital world)

I just pre-ordered the album on iTunes and I got the first single now

The song starts @ 22:54 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radi...r/b0891d6f

Thanks for this...listening to the song now...pretty catchy, I'm not loving the heavy "tech" sound too much right now, but it does seem like a grower. I listen to it a few more times I'm sure. Excited for what's to come though!!!

the official music video for "Automaton"

The song is okay but not great. If you take away the techy bleeps and sound effects, the melody and chorus are pretty weak. And the video was very underwhelming. Woulda been much better if there was more of Jay Kay's dancing and less of him walking around. Not trying to hate though. Will definitely be buying the new album and glad to see Jamiroquai back. Just not that impressed with first single. Love the hat though.

on various Jamiroquai fansites,people have been trying to transcribe the lyrics.I think these may be the correct lyrics:

In our love, every heart is beatin'.
I'm all love! Uh-can't you feel me feelin'?
Take my hand! I'm cold like a junkie.
I'm an ice-cold man.
I'm an ice-cold man. *distorted*
Why am I cryin' for you?

All this love I felt for you
Has gone away to another place. (It's a digital life)
I put my faith in a digital world
But they've given me eyes without a face.
I'd steal the moon on silver nights.
Remind myself I am someone.
My soul is null and void tonight. (I'm automaton)

I'm so tough. Uh-can't you see me runnin'?
See, I can touch. Can you feel me comin'?
I see the world and cry for freedom.
These metal eyes, they can't disguise
The fact that I need something to believe in.
But then I drug him for you!

I said goodbye to the world I knew
And took off into inner space. (It's a digital life)
Weren't you the ones who promised me
A very different place?
I've powered up, get my program set
And tilt my head toward the sun.
Inside I know, I'm null and void (I'm automaton)

Automaton (x4)

Hey, you got me down underground
Gettin' holed up in my cyber lounge
As if I had time to break that down. (Automaton)
Whatever you can do I can override/overwrite it
Got a million ways to synthesize it.
Digital android, I can fight it (Fight it out)

Automaton (It's a digital life)
Automaton (Digital life)
Automaton (A digital life)
Automaton

Feel like a man who fell to Earth
Like this is not where I belong.
They rule my life from a metal box that's windowless
And I wonder where it all goes wrong.
Maybe this dream will stay alive
But can the madness be undone?
Am I the new intelligence?

I'm automaton (x7)
It's a digital life (x2)

You know I need something I can hold onto, hold onto (You were all I knew)
I need something I can hold onto, hold onto (This was all I knew)
