Amazon.co.uk Review
Jamiroquai are something of an enigma in the British music scene, being able to disappear for what seems like years, only to re-emerge with their distinctive sound intact and their hooks as catchy as they’ve ever been. Okay, so the line-up might change but it’s Jay Kay’s style and vision that keeps them at the top of their game.

There is little bad to say about Dynamite: lead single "Feels Just Like It Should" harks back to "Deeper Underground" with its electro fuzz and unmissable funk--a storming start to the album that sits at ease with the following title track, contemporary disco soul and very much the classic Jamiroquai sound. There are few risks taken on Dynamite: almost every song is something that they’ve tried before but the appeal has never been about groundbreaking ideas, just good, honest retro with enough modern-day edge to keep it current.

So, halfway through the rumoured ten-album deal and Jay Kay is still going strong--immune to criticism that his song vocabulary is limited, thankfully he remains true to his style and uncompromising in his pursuit of high quality pop music. --David Trueman

Customer Reviews

The Return Of The Space Cowboy
Not since Travelling Without Moving has a Jamiroquai record sounded so fresh, fluid and varied. The sound has evolved substantially compared to 2001's rather pop orientated Funk Odyssey; progressing in sound and style to a level which sounds up to date but retains that trademark funky attitude we've all grown to love over the past decade.

Lyrically the songs have matured; some emotionally deep, some relaxed and balanced, the more upbeat numbers well fused together ('Starchild' being a certain classic) and in the case of 'World That He Wants' politically inspiring. Instrumentally the songs are rich and varied, layered with soul, funk, jazz, electro and even reggae: 'Black Devil Car' an adrenaline pumped track perfect for the car, while 'Seven Days In Sunny June' (my personal favourite) suited beautifully to a chilled out summers afternoon.

My only criticism of the album is that some tracks feel over produced, in particular with 'Electric Mistress' and 'Dynamite', mixing JK's voice with synthesisers and backing singers; personally something completely unnecessary as he has such a beautiful singing voice.

But this really is the only criticism of the album, and with further listening I'm sure they'll grow on me. Other than that the album truly is faultless and is destined to be a hit, to be played in my car for a very long time! Bring on the September tour!!

The best Jamiroquai CD in 10 years!
I'm fortunate enough to have a copy of the album advance, and after listening to it constantly for the past couple of weeks I still believe this is the best Jamiroquai album in 10 years. It's funkin' great.

GREAT JAMIROQUAI STUFF
I had the opportunity to listen 6 tracks on the new album: Feels Just Like It Should, Seven Days In Sunny June, Electric Mistress, Black Devil Car, Dynamite and Give Hate A Chance. This last two are the best dance songs I heard in a very long time. Seven Days... is a beautiful romantic song, while Feels... and Black... are funk rock in its best shape. You can count on that after 18 months of recording, Jamiroquai is bringing a great new record. Listen to it.
