ETIMANYD.

I raise the shutters in my room.
This morning is a beautiful sunny day even though it's pouring rain. I am happy and joyful for this spring that is just around the corner, even if the cold and frost won't go away, not even for money. The birds on the branches go chirp, the dogs on the flower beds go woof, and I, just after getting up, go fart.
I make my barley coffee, light the ginseng incense, and put the latest Jamiroquai CD in the player (bought in 4 copies, just in case I ruin one!) and say: what an amazing freaking hit (with three “f”)!!.
Finally, this singer with his mother's vulva still stuck on his head (did it stay since birth?! Is it possible that no surgery has managed to remove it?! Should we start a petition? Who's in? I'll gladly put in 20 euros...) has made an original album, unique in its genre, with innovative and especially unheard arrangements.
An album that makes you say immediately: oh damn, it's about time!
Finally, sounds perfectly aligned with this 2006 with never banal chords and sound and harmonic solutions even ahead of their time.
An absolutely NECESSARY album for the great originality it expresses from every pore and which makes it one of the best purchases of the year.
Absolutely irresistible, so much so that I even start to dance in my underwear in the middle of the room.
Ulla and Katrine, two stunning blonde playmates sleeping in my bed, ask me to lower the volume because they want to sleep some more to recover their strength after last night's Teutonic ride.
I lower the music without asking questions, even though something “sounds strange” to me.
Who the hell are those two?
I look in the mirror and see myself handsome, slim, and charming like Brad Pitt.
I lower my underwear and find the Colossus of Rhodes erect and steadfast in my hands (I need both to support the weight!).
I open the wardrobe and see only sheer shirts with silver buttons, leather pants with studs, and perforated satin scarves.
What the hell is happening?!
I go towards the bookshelf and find it completely empty, only gym equipment like weights, various springs, and fitness benches hanging on the walls.
I call Stronko for the daily walk, and a fluffy, cuddly Angora fur kitten approaches me, all snuggly and affectionate.
Holy shit, now it’s clear.
I go back to bed, period.
And from now on, these damn “reverse dreams” can go screw themselves. In two hours, when I wake up, everything will be back to normal: same rituals, same shitty day, same dark coffee, same cigarettes, same Stronko, and same damn music to “keep me company.”
For better or worse.

I'm coming down to see ya,

02   Seven Days in Sunny June (04:01)

The pebbles you've arranged
In the sand, they're strange
They speak to me like constellations, as we lie here
There's a magic I can hold
Your smile of honey gold
And that you never seem to be in short supply of

[Chorus]

Oooh, so baby let's get it on
Drinking wine and killing time
Sitting in the summer sun
You know I've wanted you so long
Why do you have to drop that bomb on me?

Lazy days, crazy dolls
You said we've been friends too long
Seven days in sunny June
Were long enough to bloom
The flowers on the summer dress you wore in spring
The way we laughed as one
And then you dropped the bomb
That I've known you too long for us to have a thing

[Chorus 2x]

Could it be this?
The stories in your eyes
The silent wings
You'll fly away on

Seven days in sunny June
Were long enough to bloom
The flowers on the sunbeam dress you wore in spring
Yeah, yeah, the way we laughed as one
Why did you drop the bomb on me?

[Chorus]

Could it be this?
The honeysuckle blessings you seem to show me
Could it be this?
For seven days in June I wasn't lonely
Could it be this?
You never gave me time to say I love you
Could it be this?
I know you don't believe me but it's so true

Don't walk away from me, girl
I read the stories in your eyes
Don't you walk away from me, girl
I read the stories in your eyes
Don't you walk away from me, girl
I read the stories in your eyes
Don't you walk away
I read the stories in your eyes

And you've been telling me
We've been friends for too long
Why do you want to drop the bomb?
Telling me
We've been friends for too long
Why do you want to drop the bomb?
You tell me we've been friends for too long, yeah
I think I love you
I think I love you
Why do you want to drop that bomb?

03   Dynamite (04:57)

Riding the night, riding the night
Ain't it cool?
Rolling it high, rolling it high
Ain't it cool?
She's looking hot, she's looking hot
In the breeze
Flashing those eyes, strutting her stuff
Givenchy

Baby wants to ride tonight

[Chorus:]
Well, you sure got the look
That the good times come for free
Baby I'm not expensive
But tonight you're taking me You sure got the look
When you're rinding next to me
Dynamite, dynamite
You sure got the look
Got to keep you on my hook
Pussycat eyes, I'm digging you
Girl, you got the look
Riding the night
You know that she's dynamite, come on
Dynamite, dynamite

Don't stop caressing me
'Cos it's ecstasy
And I wanna be

Riding the night, riding the night
Ain't it cool?
Riding the night, riding the night
She's no fool
(Turn the lights off)
Rolling it high, rolling it high
That's her thing
Riding the night, she's cold as ice
Watch the sting

[Chorus]

You know, baby
You've got that dynamite
Baby
(In the Givenchy, five seventy five, in the Givenchy)
I want your dynamite
Baby
You've got that dynamite
Baby
I want your dynamite

[Chorus]

All this dynamite love
Dynamite love, dynamite
Under the moon as we slip through the city streets
Dynamite love, dynamite love
You and me can believe in this happiness
Dynamite love, dynamite love

[Repeat with ad-libs to end]

By Moretto

 Their sound... seems to have settled definitively on the dance floors, with a funky that seems to have roots tracing back to the disco of thirty years ago.

 If we were to compare this latest work with their early days... their sound risks flattening into a standard and at times repetitive sound.
