I haven't heard the entire album yet, but I really like the song Cloud 9. Its cool people are still listening to him. Cloud 9 on YouTube has over a million views.

Has it leaked?
I was disappointed by the video but I always find something interesting in his albums.

The song is good but something about the vocals seems lacklustre to me. It's hard to fault this band. They just produce enjoyable and relaxing disco flavoured music.

Just for reference people, Jamiroquai isn't one person, it's a band and that guy 'Jay Kay' is the lead singer. There is no person actually called Jamiroquai in the band.

Definitely digging it after a single playthrough. Time will tell if it endures.

What a blast from the past, I remember this band from twenty years ago, interesting that they're still going.

These guys had flown way off my radar after Synkronized. New single sounds ok, hope the rest is better.

I could properly listen to this this morning.
(2010) Jamiroquai - Rock Dust Light Star feels quite better, imo.
Makes me remember the let down with (2001) Jamiroquai - A Funk Odyssey after (1999) Jamiroquai - Synkronized.
His "techno tries" sound quite awful and weird to me.
