Unfortunately, I don't have the CD... actually, if you help me find it...
if you come across any MP3s online...
anyway, they were amazing, and prematurely disappeared from the scene. "Songs" was just as valid, even though it was very calm and intimate. I have the LPs.
Hey kosmogabri, reach out!

"a unique genre that reflects true music...."
sorry dear, can you explain to me your concept of "true" music?
thank you....

Like all artists, Jamiroquai also "adapts" or changes their music over time. I have always smiled at those who called for Genesis in the '90s to play endless Supper's Ready, or those who expect the RHCP to keep funking it up like in their early days: it’s normal for things to change, for better or worse is another story. The only one who continues tirelessly to serve us an imitation of Dylan is De Gregori...
Anyway, the problem with Jamiro is that... they changed the band. The "historical" Stuart Zender and Toby Smith left, taking with them a good chunk of creativity. The good Jay K is indeed a spectacular performer but... he can't play a damn thing. Therefore, he relies on the musicians around him.
I've been listening to Dynamite for many days: there are absolute gems (7 Days in Sunny June), there are indulgences, and there's even something new (Disconnected). There’s definitely a "disco" mood (played great, anyway) that some may love or hate. The beautiful "acid jazz" times of Space Cowboy are truly gone.
One thing to mention, though: live, the band hasn't lost its essence. I had the chance to listen to some MP3s directly from their website, regarding performances at the BBC: fortunately, they still have an incredible funky groove.
Still for them, I recommend, at the end of this year, a reflective break, and a comeback with something that could turn the tide. Although, for someone like J Kay, now filthy rich, I don't think it matters a damn whether he makes a good album or not...

Okay, my dear perfectionist.
I just wanted to respond to Cleo, that’s all…
I won’t vote for myself again, even though that wasn’t my intention.
Happy now?

put put....

Thank you, Cleo... truly a beautiful ride...

One word: outrageous tamarri.

Well done, reviewer. A review with a soul. And after all, how can one not talk about the soul when faced with an absolute masterpiece like this?
I remember I was on my honeymoon in America. I had read a review of this album. And I had only heard "Grace."
On Fifth Avenue, I found a mega record store, where I spent 3 hours. And in the end, among 10 CDs, I picked this one up too, with a bit of skepticism. Well, it used to be said about old LPs, "I listened to it until it wore out." Well, I risk wearing out Grace in CD form.
Pure soul, soul, screams from the stomach.
A voice, a composer who, unfortunately, we will continue to miss for decades. Of course, I see on the site that there are people who listen to Gabry Ponte (sigh) or System of a Dawn (double sigh): the only suggestion I can afford to give them is "turn around, look elsewhere: the world is beautiful because it is varied." And if in the variety of the world you happen to listen to an album like this, well... I'm happy to have been curious. I found another great remedy for my spirit.
